Re-tiering... downwards.

  I shouldn't be a Tour Pro... i don't get eagles, i normally put 2-3 times on the green before putting the ball in the hole... i hit every bunker just about... birdies are rare, i can't pitch onto the green very well... why am I a Tour Pro?? Should be a Tour Amateur and not playing against people that shoot 8 to 9 under par... it just ain't fair WGT. I paid 100cr in the current multi-round game, second hole was 5 over... leader was 9 under par... forfeited the game as there is just no point continuing.  The tier system needs to reflect the ability of the player... suggest that a re-tier system be programme, can't be hard... just the opposite of promoting thru the tiers, but in reverse.

  Well your score indicate you shoot par, or close so that would say you are tiered correctly.

  I note you do have a variety of clubs, mostly with different meter speeds which may  be causing consistency in hitting the ding. So at some stage some upgrades are required. Perhaps getting a full set of G20's would help you hit more GIR, therefore improving your scores. Also save money by using a cheaper ball as your clubs will not get the full benefit of using a premium ball. You also will notice a big difference if you get 2 or 3 good wedges, and this will help your short game immensely.

  Personally I would forego playing credit games until you can upgrade your equipment AND practice as your game obviously could use some. So axxrue those credits to purchase the equipment and with practice, you too could find yourself shooting those scores.

  This game is not easy to master (and I am far from doing it yet), but is possible with some patience. Also read (and search) the forums for tips - there is a plethora of great information in here to help players of all levels.

  Most importantly, set yourself goals and enjoy the game.

  +1 to be careful with credit games.

  The multi-round is not tiered, thus you play with Legends and Tour Legends. Their skill is at 52 / 64, no chance to contend there.

  For players with ordinary skills, there's no alternative to joining tournaments for their own tier. AFAIK this starts with Pros.

  On top of that, I think we all use the same tees?

  I think i've figured out one thing on here....and maybe its just me that gets affected by it....but everytime i go up a tier....my game suddenly goes down the drain like Tiger and Rory and Sergio... then battle for a month or two to get my avg back down to where i can tier up and then the dang bad shooting starts all over just as soon as i tier up....is this just me or is this a common thing?

  Due to a lack of experience, I wasn't sure, thinking of CC tournaments - untiered, same greens but from different tees.

  Alas, an unsuspecting 85 ave. Amateur has no chance either way.
