  hi. was just wondering why your average goes up when you tier up. I remember it happening when I turned tour pro, I went from roughly mid 70's to early 80's. now ive just moved up to master and I noticed it changed from 66 to 72 after my first or second round of being a master and it wasn't because of my score because I finished under. if its normal then fine but I thought your average was your average, why should it go up. answers appreciated. thanks

  Every time you move up in Tier, your score resets. This happens when you move up in every Tier to every player.

  Go to a course you know well for the 1st 5 o 6 rounds.....get new Ave low then kick on....much harder to lower it later on.

  Its like starting from scratch so a round of par is a 72 avg but u will need 40 ranked rounds for it to settle in and not go up any more bro shooting even or above par will not move it down any

  it is from your scores after the change.

  Go to St A and shots some low scores.

  I do the opposite.. For me its a way to gauge my progress and when I get the lower average I feel better about earning it.. but thats just me I guess...
