    recently made legend with a 61 average, but it seems like every time I play a course no matter which one whether my score is 5 to 7 under my average seems to be going up in some cases, whats up with that.

    Hey Daddycaddy600, whenever you change tiers in the game your average will go up to match the increased difficulty of the new tier. So your average going up is completely normal.

    This will stop eventually. Search "saturated average" for how and why.

    More precisely:

    1) With the new tier, the average resets and starts anew. The former 61 is history, the first score as a Legend was your first Legend average.

    2) Until saturation (500 Legend scores), your average will rise and fall in the way you learned in school.

    Tip: Make a note about the "ranked rounds number" from your stats NOW as a hint to your total Legend scores.

    3) Full scores count towards the average, nine hole scores are doubled. Your 31 are 62. "Under Par" is insignificant.

    My two Pfennig:

    Forget your average - it's 500 rounds until it becomes relevant. Until then, enjoy the ride and have fun!!

    Good advice. Put that in the back of your mind as a distant goal and play on. It will happen. :-)

    500 still legend saturation?

    That's all I know...

    TLs are said to promote with 200 rounds (and 59.000 average), but no news on any other tier.
