  Welcome to the madness...

  The Legend tier isn't for the timid. Your room for error is... well... there is no room for error! Going to learn how to live with alot of it, most all of us have to deal with it also ya know.

  I get this vision that all the holes from the black tees play like hole 12 at Bethpage. Am I wrong?   : )

  Fix what? There is nothing to be fixed about the legend tier. You're playing from longer tees now, and you're not gonna be raking in all those credits in RG's like you did as a TM, deal with it. Learn the game, just because you're a legend now doesn't mean you still can't shoot good scores, just not gonna come nearly as often.

  Welcome to the legend tier. Your scores will drop. My scores started same as yours but now I regularly shoot 62-64's and often get 30/31's.

  Now you have to be a bit more careful and think twice on some holes. I think that's great and how should be - greatest challenge for the best players. Level 86, nice :)

  Richard, comparing yardages from the Legend tees to the TM tees, you come up with this...I didnt do Oakmont as I dont play it often, so I dont care lol.

  Bethpage Black sees the smallest difference in distances overall. The front 9 is an average of 15yds longer per hole, and the back 9 is an average of 18yds longer per hole. This number is so small because a lot of the par 4s play nearly the same, just at different angles, but the par 3's and 5's are significantly longer from the black tees.

  Kiawah Island- Front 9 averages 32yds longer per hole from the black tees, and the back 9 averages 46yds longer per hole. Needless to say, quite the change, Kiawah is beastly from the black tees. #13 plays 102 yards longer from the black tees.

  St Andrews- Front 9 averages 33yds longer per hole, while the back 9 averages 32yds longer per hole.

  Legend tier separates men from children. You suck? Not our problem, go cry home. Thanks :)

  I know so much easier from the hack tees LOL. Say good bye to the days of an easy -6 or -7 at St. Andys front 9. Watch out on hole 4 to hit the fairway or else, pretty narrow now ! and when you get to the back 9 better hope theres no headiwnd at 14. And no more driving the green at 10 and 12 too. Now we can see if you can play some golf. Have fun
