OkieX, I don't know what the fuss is about. Those Callaway balls are more then enough for the Legend tier. Even the Legend GI2-SD2 balls are ample for Legend play on all courses. I use a GI2-D or S golf ball on Kiawah and St. Andrews front nines, The Legend ball I play on all four courses and sometimes have to lay-off a bit on some shots.
Those Callaway balls stop on a dime too, on all greens, especially when hitting with 95% of power or better. I use a Ping i15 3 wood on hole 3 at Bethpage and the ball sticks to 3'. If I get a tail-wind, I just hold-back power on the shot. These are just a few examples about the Legend tier myths. Anyone who's played this game with any tenure should have no problem playing in the Legend tier. There's 2 par 4's (one on the front, one on the back) on all four courses that are a little longer, and the par 3's are a bit longer as well. Let me tell you though, birdie is certainly not out of the question on any of them holes. Just chase the ball to the hole on the long par 4's.
In all actuality, a lot of the approach shots are 8 or 9 iron and wedge coming in. Especially with these new Callaway golf balls that stop on a dime with a 3 iron in some instances. Depends on the wind.
The hardest thing about the Legend tier is getting used to the faster tournament green speeds. A 6 or 8 foot putt isn't quite a given like in the Tour Master tier. But it isn't nothing no one can't conquer with plenty of practice like anything else.
If I can play off-ding style golf and score two 30's in less then a week as a Legend player, anyone can do it!
edit: I did forget to mention that the back 9 of Kiawah has the most long par 4's and will take some good course management to make birdie on them holes.
