Score Average, No Average

  I don't play very well most of the time, if you look at my actual scores you can see I am a lot worse than 71.12. Looks like WGT is going to force me to another tier. Yesterday my average was 71.2 ,I shot a glorious 35 it dropped to  71.12 . Then today I shot 45 on the Multi round it stayed the same. Seems if I shoot a few more good rounds I will be railroaded to master. I will need all new equipment which I can't afford. If I don't buy I won't be able to reach fairways and greens . So I guess my other option will be to find something else to do with my coffee in the morning. Stop calling it our  score average  because  it does not have any thing to do with our average.

  Your TM driver should make most of the fairways except maybe # 7 @ BPB and until you can get a better driver there are always safe spots where you can reach the fairway. Sure most of them might put you in a spot where you can't reach the green but with your TM wedges you should be able to get close enough to have a chance at a par on most holes. It will be challenging but I am sure if you really want to play here you can do it. Also Try the free offers and surveys. I have made well over 4000 credits in the past month alone. It isn't easy but it can be done.

  Not so atamom. You will do just fine with what you have. Those wedges are good ones and that driver will definitely keep you in play at the Master tees. Look forward to getting there because the game will become more fascinating to you. You'll have to be like a real golfer and figure out the best way to play the courses. Start with par and the birdies will come. Lay up to the strength of those wedges instead of gunning for the green-moves like that.

  FWIW I used that driver for a long time last year after making Master. GL

  And besides your average needs to be about 68 to make master.

  I appreciate the input but you guys have missed the point. My clubs and the next level is not the point. The average is the  thing ,my average should be 76 or 77 if you go back through all my rounds,but the scores above my so called average don't factor in. Thus drives it downward, So they need to call it something else not scoring average.

  Well the new average system was put into place to curtail the sand baggers and it will work.

  It used to be this way but it was too easy to manipulate your "average." This made it easy to prey on unsuspecting/honest golfers by forcing a misleading average. This came into play in Tournaments and Challenges and when credits are involved, well you can see the rest. 

  The average thing is overrated. Take it with a grain of salt and play your game. :-)
