  Ur last round at STA was a 31, that would have brought down ur average a tiny bit, the other 6 rounds there did not, as ur best was 33, and worst was 37.

  600 + ranked rounds and still a master ??

  Tiny little bit do much but when you score a 3 under par,, and  on 9 other round and dont get anything not even a "tiny little bit" then something is wrong in my book!!

  Me thinks that you need to have a better look at it. You played five scores of 34 and better over the weekend, and each of these will have dropped your average because there certainly are higher numbers in the saturated mix. It's 66.05 now, let's have a look after a few more games.

  Agreed, there are higher numbers in your scores these will drop off reducing your "average" (actually you best scores over x amount of rounds in a tier). The 31 must have resulted in drop.

  That said your main problems in scoring is your scrambling stats which need to improve. A third wedge would help instead of the hybrid but personally a better set of irons that are high trajectory would be a massive game changer for you. Sadly that will mean earning or spending credits.

   If not, the best thing you can do is really work on your short game as currently you miss 30% of greens, and can only make par once every three times. Also read the putting guides in the forums as this is the other area that lets you down. Again, higher trajectory clubs will allow you to get the ball to stop on the greens, so hopefully will be putting from closer.

  Enjoy the challenge.

  Basically +1 to all above

  Irons -  Hi Trajectory would be a welcomed asset now.  Consider L79 Bladez ...read forums on those.  At Master what you have is still "OK" so you may wish to wait until L90 and those R11 irons. Your credits and how much edge you want sooner than later.

  Putter - your one is fast meter.  Time for an upgrade?..read forums on that.

  DUMP that space waste Hybrid ASAP for a third wedge.  At your level there are many available.  I would say full set of the HL Cleves personally.  Read forums on all that to.
