@tomatoman:
You are right concerning the average and your opponent's nonexistant
manners. IMHO, abusive language here is a clear sign of inferiority and
weakness. Lil boys need it to protect themselves.
He uses an unusual way to play the game, no ranked strokeplay, only matches.
This may be a faster way to climb the ladder provided you have some skills, because the average
drop is considerable when winning a match against a higher tier. I've seen a player who only played matches against Legends at KIA b9 - tremendous advantage from Master tees. Doing this consequently may be a good help to tier up because the span from the initial TM average to Legend is only 2.
