From Tour Pro to Master

  What is the required score and # holes to get to Master? I've been at Tour Pro for a long time, and managing to score par to 77 on most courses. Currently I'm 71.96.    I'm asking because, if the score requirement is a few strokes lower, I might want to upgrade some clubs just to get there.

  67 and 30 rounds, assuming you're not getting bumped up for beating higher tiers.

  Yeah, I have no clue about being bumped up for that purpose. I am sure I have done enough rounds. 67 though? Think it's time I upgrade! I am currently using a Rapture V2 10.5, averaging about 245 per drive, and my clubs are TaylorMade Burner 2.0 (graphite), 110-200.

  The level 69 Taylor Made Rocketballz set would be a really fine set for you. Or, you could wait till level 83 and get the Ping G20 set. I used that set for a long time (all the way to Legend) and really liked those clubs. I just recently went to the R11 set to get a little more precision with the irons.

  I think you definitely need to upgrade to get down to the 67 Average, then to 63 for Tour Master, and 61 for Legend. You can do all that with the RBZ or G20 set.

  Cheers, Bob Payne

  Looking at your stats, if you want to lower your scoring average you need to work on hitting more greens in regulation (shoot for 75%), sand saves, and scrambling (shoot for 50% or better for both)

  The % of fairways you hit is good. If you upgrade your driver you want to keep the fairways hit % up.

  Yup, no question I have to hit more GIR etc. Welp, here's what I did..I bought the NIKE VR_S Covert Driver (275 avg) along with the Rapture V2 Irons (level 48), adding more precision to my game.
  
  Thanks for the suggestions. See you out there. Can't wait to hit with these!

  Question for the crowd - made 'Legend' level not too long ago. Any way to go back? Tees are so far back I'm hitting 3 wood into everything! I've got upgrade clubs and calloway balls but still, this is torture! Seems shots are far less forgiving, the hole is 'smaller' with more lip-outs, but I'm not hitting any farther. You'd think if I get to the 'pro' level the perfect shots out of the bunker would have some spin. I know I'm a whiny little baby, but seriously!

  Hi,welcome to the club,some call it a new challenge,I'm not sure about that.You seem like a very good player but your equipment is not fit for the back tees;and no you can't go back.

  You'll have to either get  the G 20's if you like a slower meter or the R 11's if you can handle the speed.The're at level 89 and 90 and the're expensive.

  Good luck....
