First day Master... survived.

  There's a lot of fuss, fear, anger, whatever about changing to master. People say that they regret it, that they suck blablabla... but is it possible I'm just lucky? Cuz it didn`t go so bad. In fact I replayed the Bethpage Unlimited and got 73 (better than my usual pro avg for this course pretty satisfied) ok, my GIR still sucks LOLLL but it is more into the 25% range usually. I`m surprised I only have the Silver Sandman, I should have the Diamond one by now. I have to empty my shoes every time I go to BPB!

  

  But it will probably bite me in the butt someday :)

  My only fear now if facing the fact that I need new equipment... so many choices!

  Happy golfing all!

  Congrats !

  Now you get to compete with the big boys (and girls).

  It's not too bad and could be worse.   You could've been like me, and went straight from amateur to master tier.  Now that is a big adjustment.   :)

  Lol dont worry..I made hack to master in 3 weeks :) and the only problem was readjusting to faster club speeds and unforgiveing range of master clubs..My sugestion is if you are going to upgrade to master club with faster swing meter?Then upgrade all clubs to same swing meter that way your brain doesnt have to readjust speeds to your eyes from driver to irons ect..It took me a few days of practice rounds with all new clubs to adjust but im already posting sub par ready gos :) Now the masters with 59 averages??Wtf i have no idea how they are pulling it off lol!!

  Congrats on making the mastier tier! =) I checked your profile and the bethpage tourney you played in was actually still in the pro tier. So you are actually yet to play a master round. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  Good luck with the master tier!

  It's very easy pardog....you just have to give up on everything else you used to enjoy doing and dedicate every bit of free time to playing the godforsaken game.  :)  Kidding but only a slight exaggeration.  Think I have around 1850 ranked rounds since last July and that doesn't include rounds played in practice mode or match play.
