  How about instead of complaining about legends,pick another type of game here and/or become one..nobody starts out as one.

   You have a tremendous tee advantage, so If you are losing to players with better gear, then perhaps a much needed upgrade is in order..:)

  CT pretty much nailed it. I can't wait till you make legend and get a taste of the parking lot tees. You'll be forced to upgrade those starter irons.

  As a legend, I've been beaten by Tour Masters who INTENTIONALLY stay at that ranking who are extremely good at what they do. Sandbaggers.

  Also, dump the hybrid and get three wedges and you'll find your game improves markedly. The approach shots are 80% of this game. (Just some friendly advice)

  Good luck

  I have no evidence whatsoever to back this up but I wouldn't be surprised if there are more active legends than any other tier.   The learning curve goes pretty steep at this point and it takes a long time to get to TL.

  So, it's not surprising you find a lot of legends turning up for games.  They aren't out of control at all. They don't bite and most of them don't fart loudly when you have an important putt.

  Just play a game with them and enjoy it, as previously said, you can learn a lot from them.

  Seriously? I am a lowly tour pro, mainly because I play practice matches as rank means nothing to me. I will play anyone but hacks and amateurs as it's just no contest. I have beaten legends and lost to pros. Who cares? I play for fun not points, rank or credits.

  Good advice.  I might add that putting is the other 50% of this game. ;O))

  Not forgetting that the other 90% is played between your ears.

  Or your equipment is the other 75% of the game.

  Did anyone mention that 100% of the game is skill,with the other 100% being luck?
