New Driver

  Anyone who can help,

   I finally decided to buy a new driver at the pro shop, I figured it would help me gain some distance on the par 5's. However, now I notice that they have placed me on the tee's that are further back. To me it seems like it defeats the purpose of trying to gain distance with the purchase of a new driver. Nothings really changed. Why have I been Moved??

  Is it because of the purchase of a new driver or it it something else??

   

  Thanks

  Once your scoring average drops below 69.18 you're automatically promoted to Amateur status.  It was just a coincidence that it happened at the same time you bought the driver.

  Your last round of 34 brought your average below 69 which permanently promoted you from hack to Amateur. As an Amateur, you are going to have to get used to playing from the longer tees because there is no going back, but don't fret, you got a new driver which will help you manage the new distances a little better. Good luck and, with practice, the scores will come.
