    Most of all, you need patience ;)

    The tracks are longer, leaving longer, less precise approach shots.

    The greens are faster, fooling your experienced TM judgement.

    Your lvl 85 woods and irons should be good enough, only at some time some high level wedges would help you to end up closer to the hole.

    Enjoy the challenge!

    The best Cleves available to you. Use them with a wee topspin ;)

    Absolutely not, your equipment is fine. The stats tell a story -68% GIR, 27% sand saves and 29% scrambles. This says your approaches are all over the place and you can't get up and down to save par. 74% off the tee doesn't help.

    When you moved back to the Legend tees you changed your approach clubs from low irons and wedges to high irons. I'm sure you discovered that right away. Coupled with faster greens you have to rethink how you play holes-no more driver/wedge game.

    You need to learn how to use those wedges. Specifically the punch, pitch and chip shots. Those are the shots you need to master to be able to extricate yourself from trouble and save par. The putting will follow when you find yourself able to get closer to the hole on approaches. Knowing those wedges will pay off when you miss the approach.

    Start by finding the fairway more often, even if it means laying up. Play for pars, the birdies will come.

    Sorry, but you don't.

    You have low level Cleves which do not compare to those around lvl 76. Expensive but worth every dime!

    Specifically the punch,

    The punch is sterling, no doubt about it. The flop is 24k AU. I chip at rare times and never pitch.
