I started playing in Mar 2012 , within 3 months i was a Tour Master . I was very pleased to be Tour Master but found the game lacked any real challenge , except to make Legend and as many many Legends say , dont bother , the only difference is the Tee distance is longer .

Hack to Lvl 69 Tour Master in 3 months
So , after playing as Tour Master for another 3 months , things were becoming rather boring and i was not having the same fun as I was when I was chasing to be a Tour Master . So I quit , and restarted .
It took me 14 days to get from Hack to Master , which , considering it took me 2 months originally , that is some difference . And it was great fun at the same time .
But , and here is the reference to the post before ,
chris5214: The ability to keep your average high and level up for the best
equipment seems to be the way many players have decided to go. To get
your average low and tier up is the real way to go. For the ones in the
first group, when your ball$ drop and your voice changes, I'll see ya
from the tips. Otherwise, enjoy your ability, or lack of. Only you know
the real difference.
In 2 weeks I made Master tier at lvl 42 , and my h/c after 24 hours was down to 68.00
This achievement I am very happy with , and cant wait to start again and see if I can beat that . lol
As for seeing players leveling up but remaining as Amateurs and Pro`s , I came across very many . There were Pro`s on lvl 90 , which to me is so wrong , the system allows players to do this , so in competitions a pro`s Tee position is used , but the experience and clubs used are the same as Legends !
I believe that the system used at present is flawed , and encourages players to play as bandits and concentrate on competitions and winning credits . The next time you look at the tourney results , check the winning players and see what lvl`s they are , and I bet they are all high lvls playing with the best equipment .
This has a knock on effect that stops others from even entering competitions , as the scores posted are so ridiculously low !
How can a Pro shoot a 27 over 9 holes in reality , without using clubs used by Legends .
The whole leveling system is wrong and should be replaced with a different system , a system that rewards players not only with promotion , but with a whole new range of clubs .
So....
Hacks can only purchase clubs up to lvl 15
Amateurs can purchase clubs up to lvl 30
Pros can purchase clubs up to lvl 45
Tour Pros can purchase clubs up to lvl 60
Masters can purchase clubs up to lvl 75
Tour Masters and above can purchase clubs up to lvl 90
Legends and above can purchase clubs over lvl 90
This would mean that we would never see another Amateur or Pro with cubs only a Legend can purchase .
Tier Competitions would be a lot closer as all Tiers use different levels of clubs .
As for me , I am a lvl 44 Master with lvl 37 equipment and lower . Until I get to lvl 58 I cannot purchase a Driver that competes , which leaves me 30 yds behind after every T shot , except par 3`s of course .
I do not believe this is fair , and actually encourages players to level up as opposed to Tier up with promotion.
These are just my opinions , I do not say that I am right in what I say or imply , I just see the system as it is being taken for a ride and should be looked into to hopefully find a way of stopping these level bandits getting away with scores that are humanly impossible in real golf .
There are a few things here to chew over , lets hope for some good replies :D
