The hardest thing about this game is being able to wait. If you play every day, the WGT has made level progression so much faster than it once was, but you are still waiting to get to the higher levels where the better clubs exist.
One note on the better clubs. In RL a forged blade iron is a powerful tool in the hand of a trained golf pro, but a lot of work is needed to master it. The same is true for the better clubs at the highest levels.
Don't pick up the very accurate, highly forgiving club and expect to be knocking pins dead in a few rounds. That club also comes with higher spin, which means more wind effect, and quite possibly, backing the ball off the front of the green...
Case in point: I'm working through a putter change right now. The new putter tracks the intended line like it's on rails, which is quite helpful on highly arched putts. However, I'm finding putts that used to drop in on the high side, now graze the hole on the way by. Back off little power, and the ball might go in, or it might stop short.
