  Hello everybody,  i just turn Masters, what is the difference between Tour Pro and Masters Tier  ? 

  You just got moved back 1 tee, and the greens are faster. If you havent already done so , you will now need to start upgrading your clubs. You will want distance and loft,  and a good ball with spin , to hold the greens. Also a good 3 wedges , for your short game. You will have to relearn ball placement,so get ready for a lot of stroke play practice rounds. Congrats by the way , and welcome to the neighborhood . Hope this helps. Happy Swinging

  Congrats Michell. The difference is only moving back on the tees, and by memory, this was the hardest tier change. Suddenly you need to relearn the game and with me the distance using starters became impossible so had to upgrade.

  Enjoy the challenge.

  Thanks to all  for th answers.

  Ok, the tee  is back,  i need muscle, i return to weight room lol and with my putting game not on top,  i think the challenge will be bigger if i want  moving  at   Tour Master tier one day in a long long  time lol

  I need goods  clubs,  I need  some  sleeve of balls to if i want  to progress and especially  i need to practice  a lot and  play better lol

  And for Tour Master, i need average 64 i think ?

  Sorry to correct you Alan:

  Ave. 63 + 40 rounds for TM.

  This is a big step for many who have played nicely with minor equipment until then. The distances are becoming uncomfortable, course management is necessary. Get all the shots into your repertoire (Punch, Flop, Pitch, Chip). I have seen only a few players (two to be precise) to fare well with Starters from that distance.

  With a possible change in equipment comes the question whether to drop the hybrid and choose three wedges, fitting below the PW. 

  Custom balls will help, too. They drop the meter speed and add invaluable spin. To start with the cheap ones helps to keep the budget low - no need to practice with silver bullets. My long time favourite was the Tour-SD, only recently I changed to lvl33 Callies.

  The next step is not as difficult. The tees will remain unchanged, and you may have gotten some experience on Tournament greens in CC tournaments and multiplayer games.

  Don't hurry, don't worry, have fun!!

  I see a big challenge in front of me, lot of  practice, better skill nedeed, better clubs,  balls to buy, but i don't have enough budget to buy  all that, if  some  generous people can buy me some sleeve of balls, i appreciate.

  If it is not possible,  i understand, and  thank you all for tips and advice  for us to be better player.

  OOps  I stand corrected, was dark and laptop numbers always get me lol.

  I totally agree with the wedges and Tour-SD ball, I used these for a long time and are good value..

  As Alosso said, don't hurry, Master is a big step so just soak up all the knowledge you will learn but the mostimportant thing is to enjoy the new challenges.
