  Please Help!!!

   

  I am currently a Pro 78.

  How do I improve my rating?

  What events do I have to enter to get better?

  The 78 is your average score for 18 holes.  If you play 9 holes and score 36 then it counts as a 72 towards your average.  To lower it you need to play ranked rounds, either competitions or just for fun and score less than 78 for 18 holes.

  A friendly game with other people will change your average so long as it's ranked not practice.  Blitz, alt shot, matchplay and CTTH games don't have any effect.

  Pro is your tier.  Advance to tour pro you need to hit a certain average and have a certain number of ranked rounds as pro.

  Good luck.

  Thanks MainzMan.

  I understand all that now, but how do I get the credits to get better clubs, to hit the ball further and be more accurate so my rounds can get lower?

  I find myself way back on most holes making it difficult to get close.

  My driver only goes 235yds and when I play against most people they are not only further than me, but more accurate.

  How do I bridge that gap?
