What do I do next? If I keep playing ranked rounds I could be putting the rope around my neck...

Your decision IMO:

- continue to win money tourneys, you will be promoted.

- win against the big boys, you will be promoted.

- step back and play only freebees, you may rest at your tier and build up XPs. Be careful though, the monthlies/weeklies also pay out.

I agree to this scheme: outstanding players should be put to the right tier.

It's comparable to a profession: You work the hell outta yourself, you get promoted and the boss expects more. You stay unremarkable, your desk is yours for longer.

You know, every tiers we once strugle on ,we made it with patience , i know its almost impossible to get to TL ...... thats what we(I) all said from tiers to tiers ,level to level ,,,,,and frustrations to frustrations ,,,, if we keep playing i beleive we can reach things we never thought we could ,,,,,so far most of us are doing this and playing hard for our own plaisure ......... so no prob if we dont make it to where we want to be, the chase was worth it ......... no shame in that . :) Frapp

Not exactly where I don't wanna be.. actually said I don't mind tiering up.. my problem is accessibility to best equipment at Level 61.. I'm already at a disadvantage when I play some ready goes and Tournaments...and the foreseeable future is that I will have to stay months in the 60's and 70s(levels) till I can get a hold of a better driver at least...Not doing so bad, but surely they will make it harder if they put me 40 yards back and don't give me the chance to buy a better driver at least... but think this road has been walked before...It's an old complain...WGT doesn't seem to do anything completely right, just half. I have read these complaints hundreds of times. Thanks for your answer.

Nice one Frappe, you have the right attitude mate , and you are right we all got to TIERS we never thought was possible .

Just keep chipping away and it will creep up on you before you know it . Never give up on your goals that is what makes this game so great . Good luck to every one !

Yep - it's a timing question, as I said before. Should have said "where he don't wanna be now!"

There are two threads about the accelerated promotion - 'nuff said there.

Started the road to TL on October 5th with an average of 65.59

25 days later I have dropped my average 4 points, currently sitting at 61.59

I have 363 games played as a Legend

It has now been 39 days and I have reached my 500th ranked round as a legend with a current average of 60.90

Whew, I am slightly exhausted. I enjoyed it and will continue to play the game, hopefully at a much slower pace.

My road there looks like it will be a long one. Current avg was 66.27, and after shooting a 30 for 9 holes dropped it down to 66.26. lol

I feel your pain and then some. Shooting a 28 only drops my average .01

Things will be slowing down from this point onward
