I don't think a person has to buy that worthless level up Boost drinks or candy bar.\
I just was fortunate that I had the time to shoot one heck of alot of ranked rounds.
I took me way longer to make legend because I just flat out suck at this game lol.
Some of the lost balls kinda piss me off but, I learned to not to get too loose with my shots around Kiawah for example.
I also played most of my early rounds (300?) with the starter clubs & balls. I never played for credits yet but I'm thinkin I could maybe do a RG at Bethpage where the greens aren't like a rolly coaster.
But I get a kick outta guys that say "I DON"T GIVE A SHYT WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF ME " & yada yade blah blah. YOu know you give a shyt, or you wouldn't have written the GD post, would you? lmao,,unreal
