  3 additional thoughts:

             1). Short drives off of the Tee?  Why are you using the MAX instead of the Hot X, New Covert or Sldr - (all of which are more forgiving than the MAX)? I am not finding much of a problem with the Sldr - (except getting out-driven by one of my fellow CC members with a Hot X lol ).

              2.)  The Tee shot is much less important than your approach shots.  You've got the R11 Irons, which are pretty darned good. You might want to practice with them a little more. Their overall accuracy offsets any Tee advantage a lower level player may have. The R11 3 iron reaches out almost as far as your fairway wood.

               3). If you are having trouble landing the ball within 1 or 2 yards of the pin using the MAX Wedges, consider switching to better Wedges.

  ^I'd go for the Clevelands (100-80-60), unless you like 100-75-60.

  L76 CG16 54W, then L42 PING Tour W 60W, and L39 64W ATV for 100-75-60. Easiest way to do that.

  I offer thanks for a preview of the coming attractions. Legend is my next step and I'm closing in slowly. Yet I find myself looking forward to the new challenges. Thanks all!

  • When your average score is equal or smaller than 100 you go from Hack to Amateur.
  • When it is equal or smaller than 80 you go from Amateur to Pro.
  • When it is equal or smaller than 72 you go from Pro to Tour Pro
  • When it is equal or smaller than 67 you go from Tour Pro to Master
  • When it is equal or smaller than 63 you go from Master to Tour master
  • When it is equal or smaller than 61 you go from Tour master to legend 
    
  • When it is equal or smaller than 60 you go from Legend to Tour Legend*

  and

  • you need to play at least 5 ranked rounds as Hack before reaching Amateur
  • you need to play at least 10 ranked rounds as Amateur before reaching Pro
  • you need to play at least 20 ranked rounds as Pro before reaching Tour pro
  • you need to play at least 25 ranked rounds as Tour pro before reaching Master
  • you need to play at least 40 ranked rounds as Master before reaching Tour Master
  • you need to play at least 50 ranked rounds as Tour Master before reaching Legend
  • You need at least 500 ranked rounds as Legend before reaching Tour Legend

  Notice that those minimal number of ranked rounds are also the number of best rounds used to compute your average in that particular tier. So if you are Tour Master for example, your average is computed with your best 50 ranked round (that's why you need at least 50 rounds to move up).

  Congrats on making Legend.  

  It's a fun level as you will basically be playing a brand new game since you will have to relearn all of the shots.

  There is a steep learning curve.  It will take time so don't beat yourself up.

  No, it's 500 rounds before saturation
