gazzamav, you're correct, the game is supposed to be fun. However, WGT wants to simulate real situations and that is why the qualifiers are so difficult (will be even harder come Championship day).
You're playing Starter clubs. If you want to be competetive (especially trying to qualify for the two biggest yearly WGT tournaments), I recommend upgrading your clubs, at bare minimum a new driver and putter.
Have a nice day.
