BMX123:
right to the point - thank you - but in order to get coins you earn them (slowly I assume) or buy them (cash quickly) and then risk it that I am going beat someone in match play in the coin room at high stakes to get my hat to level 10 and longest driver.
Seems like a lot cash and months if not over a year?
All I want is a big driver and no other changes to my irons
You can start in the smaller coin rooms and slowly build your "stack". You are correct, to enter the coin rooms you must pay an entry fee, and if you win you'll get your entry fee back plus about 45%. One thing you can do to boost your stack more quickly is equip any Top Golf hat, pants and shirt, Rare or Epic Top Golf glove, any Max shoes. Those apparel items all come with small coin boost % when you win.
You can keep all of this apparel equipped and still select Swing Edge (SE) as your Sponsor as Duphpherer said.
And yes, to get to L10 SE hat it will take some time. I've been back at the game for about 1.5 years after a long break and am still only at L9 on the hat, with another 743 points to go until L10. I don't play coin games religiously though, so you might be able to get there faster if you play more often. Occasionally WGT will put the SE hat for "sale" in the Pro Shop, but it's not a great deal and you still aren't going to get there overnight.
**edit** Forgot to say that only 1 Hole coin rooms are Match Play, the 3 and 9 Hole rooms are Aggregate score.
