  Hi, i'm curious and haven't seen an article on this yet so....

  What do you buy first if you have around 120- 150 credits? A set of better balls?( i don't know how long they last? but read the better the ball the shorter usage you get) or a better driver which will gain you 5 or 10 yrds? or wait to gain more credits as you move up levels? I don't know yet how I stand on gaining more credits for level raises but obviously know do well, win tourns but with limited gear thats going to be extremely tough.

  Cheers Djepudd

  Easy answer is, "Not much." 

  More helpful would be to point out that free credits are plentiful. A check of your profile tells me that you belong to a CC with some very good players. It's been my experience that my fellow members have provided excellent advice. Seek counsel there. 

  You've made it pretty far with the basics. Yep. Time to upgrade, but it won't be cheap.

  With your stats , this wedge for 250 credits would be the #1 thing you could invest in to help with scoring. It will help you get up and down on pitchs, chips, punches and flops from around the green.

  I agree with RUNWME, a wedge like this TM or Ping would improve your greens in reg. which is 62%. Your putting is pretty good considering you are not getting close to the hole with your approach shot, dial them in & stop the ball better with a good wedge.

  Maybe a cheaper ball with spin too.

  Good luck & happy hitting

  When i started the first thing i did was get the 52 and 64 degree Satin wedges. Excellent clubs that take away any concerns with rough up to 30 - 40%.

  I was lucky to have some kind soul gift me a K15 driver.

  I went all the way to  Master with that setup, and then at LvL 79 bought the Burners.
