Second tee, same (very fast) greens. Not a big deal with good equipment, choose with care.
Should be fine for now, except for the Starter wedge. Get a good one instead, about level 40 minimum. A third one is recommended to fill up the free spot in your bag.
You might try Tour SD balls, Srixons or Callies (lvl 33) if you're prepared to spend some more credits in the game.
WGT will take care of an invitation to Nation at level 90. Unfortunately, there's not much benefit to expect.
