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 .
I was Manic666 ... ( click the name )

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 .
Here is a reference to another post ,
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.
In 2 weeks I made Master tier at lvl 42 , and 24 hours later my h/c was down to 68.00
chris5214: To get
your average low and tier up is the real way to go.
Absolutely , and golf equipment should be made available at Tier Level and not at playing level
For the players who level up and remain in lower Tiers , enjoy your ability, or lack of ability is the reality . You can only beat your peers because you have leveled up and bought the better equipment , If equipment was made available at Tier level you wouldn`t be beating anyone !
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 , but unfortunately I cannot purchase better equipment until level 58 ! So I am now at a big disadvantage to other Masters as they have leveled up ! This is wrong , I should be able to purchase better equipment as I have moved up to Master Tier , unfortunately I cant !
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 they wouldn`t be able to .
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 for example ....
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 the same 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 . Not to mention all the players on lower Tiers than me being able to use level 90 equipment !
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
