  I feel honored to be a Legend.

  That makes one of us. Not only do I feel undeserving, I feel embarrassed to hold the title with my game as of late. Now, don't be mislead into thinking I take pride in my game, well in this game, because it's only that. A game. I'm simply saying WGT's habit of "shoot first and ask questions later" is getting really old quick.

  Yes,

  A longer driver would be a great start...but since when is WGT concerned with their customers?

  Well I'm sure they'll have a new driver soon...guess how much it will cost? My guess...1600-1800 credits.

  I got 20K credits for a longer driver, iron set and 3 wood, but unfortunately I will have to wait 3yrs to reach the appropriate level for them.  I said from the beginning, I hate level based equip upgrades.

  A new driver won't do me any good if it has a meter speed and unforgiveness of an R9 or worse.

  I have an R9 locked in a closet because its had affairs with the fescue at St. Andrews, the hard bunkers at Kiawah, the deep weeds and church bunkers of Oak, and the trees at BPB. 

  I can live without a 300+ yd driver.  A 299yd Rapture tho...........gotta have one. LOL

  This is ironic. Yesterday, using the 270yard, G10, from the black tees, I caught one that went 400 yards...almost...399.93, to be exact...

  I've hit a 401yd drive, with a 30mph wind behind on StA, I've also hit  drives well under 250 yds into the wind. What's your point? 

  Everyone catches one with the right circumstances once in a while, but the 270yd avg is too short from the back tees.

  SP, when you are averaging 399.93yds let me know.  When I cant reach the 5ft wide fairway in a headwind on STA with the SUPERTRI there is a problem.  When I tag a drive on Kia #18 and have 224 left, there is a problem.  I am sure it will just be time before I get used to it, but there are very few real pros these days that can only hit a PW 115yds.

  This is not aimed at anyone in particular, but I get the feeling some people are too busy complaining about how difficult it now is, than actually getting out there and playing.

  So far with the drive on St Andrews 4, I'm consistently finding the little strip of fairway. It's the 2nd shot that/s causing the problems. Tending to either come up just short, or going way too far, but guess I'll get it worked out eventually.

  I suppose the point is that it didn't go far enough...I needed another 6 inches to earn the Diamond longest drive award...boo whoo...I didn't make the birdie either.
