chuddlymccannon: Then you only have to start over again to get to legend. And, that is a serious case of headache time compared to TM
With all respect, how would you know this, your a Tour Master not a Legend!!
I found this game to be getting boring around the time just prior to achieving 'Legend' status. When l finally made the 'grade' and began teeing off from the 'carpark' as they call it l would be driving from the tee and firing into the green anything from 7 irons up to wedges.
Make the leap to Legend, your average will go up, the greens will be faster, at the beginning you'll probably think WTF?
What you will actually do is, learn to play the game again. Tee shots will need to be longer and straighter, the once 2nd shot of 120 yards and a wedge will now become a 3, 4 maybe even a 5 iron, trying to get the ball to stop on the green, an example being Bethpage #5, from the back tees you fail to make the fairway from the tee, you can forget about reaching the green in 2, you'll be laying up, looking at if your lucky salvaging a par.
The second shot you hit there will need to clear the bunker at the front of the green with enough backspin imparted to allow you to stop the ball on the putting surface without going into the rough/fringe at the back.
You'll have to start implementing a course management strategy, you will learn the game again, and take my word for it , you will actually enjoy it, as you did once before.
