  Hi  All

  Hope  everyone  had  a  great  Xmas  &  new  year

  Ranked rounds  when   turned  Legend  170

   Ranked  Rounds  712    ( so gone  over  the  500  required  as legend)

  but   but  do  Par 3/s  Count  in  the  500  as  a  Ranked  Round ??????

   

   

   

  Enjoyed  the  learning  curve,  and  super  active  Player,  726000 xp  points so  far  for  Country Club  in  14 months  ....  

  Mostly  play  Matchplay  or  Alt  Games  

   

  Now the  difficult  part  getting  averages  down,   reason  want  tobecome  a  Tour  legend  is  Love  the  13 Speed  Greens  love  them  to  be  my  Default..

   

  Questions

  are  there  a  set  amount  of  9  holes   18  holes  you  have  to  play  within  the  500 rounds..? pars 3  do  they  count ?

  Are there  any  other  thing  must  tick  off  ? or  must  do ?

   

  Thanks  All  for  any  advice,  Enjoying  the  quest

  Cheers

  Bob

  Simple answer: The Par 3 courses don't count; neither does the Par 5. Rounds played can be either 9 holes or 18.

  I've always read that all stroke play, ranked rounds between par 60 and 80 count toward average and saturation. So, yes, it should count for both.  
  
  It's a long haul to Tour Legend. I made Legend about 15 months ago. I'm projecting myself to make Tour Legend later this year (maybe as early as late summer). 
  
  Just be sure to enjoy the journey! :-)

  No it would not.

  From FAQ: Will scores shot on a Custom Course count towards my average score?

  No, since the par on a custom course can vary, any score shot will not count towards your average score. However, other stats will be saved, such as Hole In Ones, Birdies...etc.

  Thanks for the correction! I appreciate it.
  
  Now, if they could just do something about all the red tee.... OK, I probably shouldn't go there. ;-)

  Thanks for remembering Robert!

  This was meant to exclude pars of 54 (Par3) and 90 (Par5). Things change, so I won't be able to use that phrase any more ;(

  thanks  all  for  replys,     much  appreciated    

  At  present, playing  stroke  rounds  the  quest  of  dropping  averages

   

  Can  you  please  answer  this  for  me,  at  present   average dropping down, 

  -8     score     dropping   .6   

   

  dont  think  i  have  reached  the  500  ranked  rounds  yet,  as  loads  were  par 3   brandon  grrrr  (  my  bad  )

   

  when   i  hit  the  500 and  saturation point,  will  i  see  a  

   

  -8   score   dropping  average  say   .10    or  so          

  will  i  notice  the  difference  in,  when  i  do  reach  the  500  rounds

   

  big  thanks  to  all  ,  like  i  say   appreciated  and  thank  you

  The closer you reach 500 RRs your avg movement would reduce. To give an idea, if you hit 500 rds with an avg of 66, for ur avg to go to 65.9, the difference between your 501st round and the worst rd in 500 has to be 50 shots.
