  Thank you.

  Get wedges better than the 2 starter wedges in your bag and don't wait until you move to Master(moving back a tee box) to start playing practice rounds from the Hard tees. In practice mode we can set the tee boxes to whatever we want so I'd advise anyone on the verge of a tee box change to play practice rounds from the further back tee box ahead of time. GL

  CD already mentioned gear and tees.  The only thing I'd add is to enjoy it and ignore your average for a while.  It'll probably go up a bit early on but you'll quickly reach saturation and then it'll come back down again.

  And have fun, master tier is great.  Not that there's anything wrong with TL, it's just a lot harder to finish near the top of the leader board.

  All your stats look pretty good with the exception of GIR. At the longer distances, you're really going to be challenged on approaches. I'd suggest looking into new irons. 

  Whew. Took a look at what's available at your level. It looks like there may be some pretty good upgrades for you in the next couple of levels and a couple that might be good right now. I'd recommend something, but there's WAY more out there to choose from than when I was in your shoes, and I don't know what characteristics you favor. The irons I was using at that time aren't available, gone the way of the mashie and spoon. 

  Good luck. M tier is a load of fun.
