Master to Tour Master Transition

  Howdy all,

  So, I've been given my bag of gold and told to move on to the Tour Master tier.  After a couple of rounds (one horrible, one OK), I am wondering what the differences are between the two tiers.  I noticed a couple of things:

  a) the wind blows as erratic and without warning as my wife's mood when I am playing WGT

  b) If you DING, it ain't no thing

  Anything else I should get ready for?

  Best,

  S.

  Hi steve, took a look at your stats & you'll be fine...lol 

  Just might want to upgrade your irons, but don't sell the level 59 Pings, they are my go to irons when the meter speed heads south sometimes. I've used the 10 credit 1 dot of spin balls on them sometimes. And might also upgrade your 3 wedges to something with a bit more spin since you will be playing from the back tees soon enough. 

  Keep Up the Good work!

  Joe

  Differences between the two tiers, if I can remember..lol Are the green speeds: Tournament 11 to Tournament 12

  If I remember things correctly the only difference is green speed, very fast to TM speeds 

  winds will be the same and dings will be the same if you get them or not. 

  1.2 to 1.3 speed 

  I did not notice any difference from master to tourmaster .

  Just the slight difference on greens.

  Nice promotion, S....you know, most here would say that each move up is a bit like breaking in new shoes...before long, comfort shows up...then another promotion...then, another pair of new shoes...you'll be at home in no time ;-}

  Don't get that one Lily 

  Break them in and wear them until they are no longer on the market and then panic !

  Might I add , if you are a member of a good club, why are you not asking those simple questions in that club ?

  Perhaps I don't make use of my C.C. enough.  Will have to get more community-oriented I suppose.

  Hardly any difference, you'd have encountered the green speeds already....

  The smart move is to practice from the back tees now, then the move to legend is simple too.

  One practice round a day from the black tees for 6 / 8 weeks and it'll be seamless....

  Correct, but it's very fast 10 to tournament 11.

   One would think that a big cc would provide those choices for him , and playing other members from the tips!
