  Do you have to get lower than a certain average to become a master or does the number of rounds have any influence.  Just trying to figure out how that works.  Thanks!

  There's a magical number handed down from father to son within the admin people... once your scoring average gets down to something like 63, 64, 65 - they switch you over. From what I've heard though it's tough and you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to get down there.

  lol!!

  Thank's? What the hell does that mean? Thank a collective possession? lol

  It's 65.74 to be exact... which rounds up to 66.. unless they've recently changed it again.

  G.I.R.L.s are hilarious!

  You heard right Zak. Very wise information. The Master magical number is around those numbers you posted. My magical number was 65.56 back in December. Everyone's number will be different, that's for sure.

  A reminder to the pro's, once you make Master, there's no going back. Gain all the course knowledge you can, record all your rounds (even the bad ones), and you'll advance naturally through the tiers.  : )

  As much as my friend SMason wants to put an exact number on it... he's wrong.

  There is no exact number as your average is not the only factor in determining your rank.  

  Play the game to the best of your ability and you will make it to Master when your game is ready for you to make Master.

  Don't be in a hurry, though... the yardages are longer, the greens are faster, and even the easiest courses will eat your lunch if you're not prepared.

  Peace.
