I'm new to the WGT site again but previously played around with it a year or so ago. I'm using the same username as before and my Tier is "Hack". I tried going in and upgrading my clubs so that I could maximize my driving distance and iron play. However it tells me that because of my tier that I cannot purchase these clubs. So what do I need to do to change the TIER rating??? Thanks, Randy

Hello Unpar and welcome back.The site has improved a lot since your last visit.The way to improve you ranking (tier) is to play "Ranked Rounds" and complete them.I You will notice your average will reduce after each of your rounds,providing you shoot better than the prior round.The amateur tier is easealiy obtainable but I'm not quite sure what the number is.I'm pretty sure the Pro tier is around 75 to 77 as no one is quite sure exactly where the threshold is.The master tier for me was below 66 or there about.I hope this is helpful to you Randy and enjoy the added features of the site.

Merry Christmas,

Larry

Only some clubs (a minority) have those restrictions. There are many clubsets available for all tiers, including Hacks.

I have yet to see a club available to amatture that isn't available to hacks. Is there a reason for this, or is it because hacks are only hacks for such a short time?

Hi unpar,

My tip would be to not be in any rush to storm through the tiers !! Learn the game and enjoy the experience, you will progress through the tiers at your own pace - dont push it.

I don't think I upgraded my clubs until I got into the Pro tier.

You will need to understand how your clubs work, and have a good knowledge of each course, because when you get up into the top of the Pro tier, or Master tier then the competition really ramps up - so having a good knowledge of the game will help you when the time comes.

just mho, for what its worth.

Enjoy, and a Happy New Year to you :-)

Cheers Doug
