  Hi All

  Started playing just over a week ago used to golf games so took to it reasonably well but I keep going up tiers which makes it harder I've read its on your score but these are my scores to date below but with the last one I just turned pro which seemed strange as it was a really bad round?  Does anyone know?

  Thanks in advance

  next tier will require average of 72, then Master is 67 and Tour master 63 and legend 61, with 5 10 20 30 40 and 50 ranked rounds in each tier.

  Winn matchplay against higher tier players will progress you even quicker

  Welcome TomandDiego!
  
  A good explanation of tiers can be found here:   http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/108931.aspx
  
  You should also understand "levels" because the higher your "level", the better the equipment that you are allowed to buy at the Pro Shop.  See the last post on this page:
  http://www.wgt.com/forums/p/48159/846092.aspx#846092
  
  You will need "credits" to buy better equipment and you can either buy them or take surveys and do other 'activities' to get them free.
  
  Trust me  -  FREE is the way to go and you should start gathering credits  now, because you will want better gear pretty soon!

  Enjoy this, it is both challenging and fun.

  Best 10 rounds counted, and that 46 / 92 will have kicked out a lesser good score to fulfill the necessary average.
