  my avg was on 61.7 yesterday .. playin' 9 hole ranked games mostly due to time considerations .. but i'm shooting 31's for the last 5 or so rounds, yet my avg keeps on coming down .. ?

  went from 61.7 > 61.62 after 31 over 9 .. then from 61.62 > 61.56 after another 31 ..

  might this be due to number of ranked rounds at TM that i've played already ? did a quick count & have 52 ranked rounds ..

  Absolutely YES. Now that you have 50 ranked rounds at TM your average can only go down. It will knock out higher scores and only rank the lowest 50 at your tier. You'll drop it below 61 faster now. I'll see you at Legend within the week IMO.  ;-)

  hey Cerino buddy, howya keepin' ..

  Jeez man, i was hoping to reach at least lvl 81 before i go L .. don't think i'll be ready for Legend tier yet .. only 180 odd ranked rounds played to date, under clubbed & not enuff experience .. think i'd wanna game up with you for couple rounds after i go L to get some tips .. yeah ?

  No prob we'll play sometime. BTW, start playing practice rounds from the tips now. The transition to Legend will be a lot easier if you get used to the distance difference before it counts. I started about a month and a half in advance. You may surprise yourself at the scoring you can do with the clubs you already have. Plus, it creates short game practice opportunities galore. ;-)

  I wouldn't count on that just yet. That last point to 61 takes a lot of 30s, 29s and 28s. Many a TM has come on here wondering why it's so hard to get to 61.  :-)

  thx YJ .. so maybe lvl 81 is reachable before L .. that would be a relief actually

  I assume 81 is where you would grab a longer driver, ostensibly because of the longer holes. Your irons are going to make a bigger difference when you get there and since the better set of G20s is even further away than that driver, you might consider leaving the slower meter behind and learning the faster one that goes with the better clubs, like the Burners you can get now.

  yeah, i was tossin' around that very idea .. maybe i should giv 'em a go .. i am actually eyeing the 83 g20's for obvious reasons .. but hey, maybe i shud try those Burners too ,, couldn't hurt .. time to experiment again i guess

  Tee off with your 3W from those TM tees and you'll get a pretty good idea of what you'll be up against.
