Well you average has to drop to 69. something, I can't remember when mine changed from hack.
When you go to amateur, you get to hit off longer tees and if you enter a tourney you are playing against al lot of folks that average is between 59-61.
When the Pro tier is added most of these folks will move up to it. (Thank goodness)
I was on one night after being up about 30+ hours straight and had been on a lot playing that day and night. That night I had a great back nine and if I realized that I was going to amateur status, I honsetly would not have finished my round. I was playing alone doing ranked rounds. I guess moving to amateur is what a lot of folks are shooting for.
At this point I own all the clubs that have been released. If you look I am playing the original clubs that we had. I shot -2 on the back nine today which is unusal for me. I am usually +5 or 6 and I don't finish my ranked round. That is just the way it is, I don't have a reason to hide the fact. I guess I am going to start trying to play some group rounds, but from what I have read I want newbiees that will play and won't quit, I don't care how long it takes to play nine or what we shoot as long as we have fun.
