    Hello All,

    I actually joined in 09, tried it a couple times and just got too frustrated with it so I gave up on it and moved on to other things. Anyway, about 3 months ago, I open an e mail from WGT out of spam and think what the hey, I'm due for some abuse, ill give it a go. (dumbarse thing to do in retrospect)

    So now, endless hours and several dollars later I've made it to level 55- Master and have hit the proverbial brick wall. My little girl keeps asking me " Dad what happened to all your hair ?" Well I reply as I'm hangin my head and scuffin my toe a little, ( There's this game I'm trying to learn and....)  I'm sure you get the picture.

    After reading through several forum threads and discussions, it seems the most common advice is to join a CC and play with better players and some will try to help you learn the ropes, hence my hat toss.

    It occurs to me that other new guys may read this and wonder why someone with a Master ranking can't play very well yet ( most games I struggle to be at 1 or 2 under) and all I can say is asking someone to believe my game is at Master level is like asking someone to believe ol Shaggy and Scoobs weren't on the ganja.

    I'm also not sure this post is in the right area or not , but here it is.

    Best of luck on the tracks to all,  Danny

    Welcome back! Your comment about joining a cc for help is right on. But the other MP games are also a good way to learn. Ask if its ok if you ask questions and as long as it doesn't slow the game down too much a lot of people will help. I play most evenings so if you can stand Tournament speed greens holler at me I would be happy to play with you. Good Luck

    dano all i can suggest is what i do.. every time you think - "What the hell happened there" Try and identify the factors involved in what went wrong then search the forums, ive learnt a lot about the games nuances that way.

    Yeah thats pretty much correct.

    Other members are happy to spend the time to pass on what they have learnt & unless you see experience play and hear their reasoning, you wont know you are getting good at bad habits.

    CC's are usually full of folks who are willing to impart their knowledge. Go for it.

    Well dano, I was going to invite you to join our terrific little country club but I see you have already chosen another one.

    We do have a great small group (maximum of 50 members) and some good tourneys, but I hope you enjoy where you are and improve your game.
