  You'll need an avg of 67, but getting there won't necessarily be fast or easy.

  1. You can invest in better equipment to speed up the process.  Maybe start with rentals for quick appraisals.  You can search the forum for equipment recommendations and at level 90 you have lots choices.  Better clubs improve performance and slow down the meter speed to get more dings/near dings.  Consider using 3 wedges by giving up your hybrid club (you can use punch shots with your fairway wood as a substitute).  Choose clubs that have the same (or nearly the same) meter speed to help with your timing.

  2. Having the best equipment is not going to suddenly improve your game.  Experiment and try some different approaches to improve your stats.  A great source of tips is garypinhunters site.  If you choose new equipment to work on your game, invest time to get to know each new club's behavior before deciding that it's not working for you.

  3. Stick to playing only ranked stroke play rounds/matches and stroke play tournaments (excluding par 3, par 5 courses, and alt games) to get your average moving quickly.

  My answer: Play the game well!

  To become a Master is worth a thought because you will step back to the
  second-furthest tees.

  Many clubs become obsolete or difficult, the game changes significantly.

  IMHO, it's not a good plan to hurry to this tier.

  Why are you so eager?

  Slamer:

  I would agree with the above posters.

  I checked your last score - a 50 on the front 9 of Congressional.  Off the Master tees there is an additional 200 yards on the front 9.

  Play more, get advice from your CC members to get better and it will happen when it should.

  Well great advice all round.

  But if you upgrade your irons, you will see some huge improvement in the long run .

  lvl 10 irons will go where you aim them and +? left right

  with a rsi iron you are going to shave of 2 stroke pr game.

  it will cost you a few credits , but if you really want to see improvement !

  good luck going forward !

  With a Starter Driver, 3 Wood and golf ball you won't get very far to achieve your goal of advancement either. Take it one step at a time to upgrade your equipment but once you have you'll see a vast improvement in your game. But it will come at a cost to you. Good luck!!
