    hi,

    I did not want to be legend. But WGT has a way to stop sandbagging in money game. So playing matchplay means you either go down or up. I beat legends above me. I had weaker clubs as TM and starter ball. So in a way i evened out every game. I had no advantage over legends because most legends hit same or more distance than me.

    Begging for clubs is totally different issue. I am legend and beating fellow legends is not as much fun as beating players better than me. There are good legends who can beat me pretty easy. I think anyone consistent can beat me. Whole goal is fix my deficiency than anything else. Some gave good challenge like creamer444 , Mbaggase. Its all fun.

    I trash talk. If you beat me you can say what ever you wnat to say , i do not mind until i beat u . I am cool.

    I wanted to test how my average hold up against legend match play and TL match play. Match play is no different that stroke play for me. Its just that some courses suit your clubs some do not. Merion clubs do not make difference , putting makes difference. Thats only advantage i think i have. But there are great putters like arikuld who can beat merion pretty easy because he knock it down consistently.

    All in all its about fun. Thats all.

    disregarding an entire group/tier is missing out on a ton of challenges and chances to work on your deficiencies.  I'd like to play you again, but apparently I'll need to be a T/L before you help me figure out Merion.

    cheers, see you in the fall

    You never lose average when losing a Matchplay.

     

    Also there's no way to go back in tiers.

    Firstly congrats on legend status although you have done it the unorthodox way via purely matchplay.

    Solely playing m/p your average will not go up, regardless if a hack beat you. And now you are a legend you cannot be demoted a tier - only move up to TL.

    Personally I think it is a much better accomplishment reaching a new tier via stroke play however we are all different. Enjoy the new tees.
