  I'm afraid to say that your recent scores aren't good.

  A 79 or a 38 (=76) aren't even close to your average, so they won't advance it.

  My two Pfennig: Have fun in the game, then you will become better!

  I wish I'm back to Master or tour pro..much more pleasant to play.

  You need a 67.00 average, and for that you need to play lower scores.

  Some 33s and 34s and 35s would be fine, but not on Par3s or CC Custom Courses.

  First, you should drop that EZ Swing wedge and look if you need one or two more custom wedges, perhaps dropping one of the 64°(?).

  Then, you might want to practice for better shots and putts. Analyse where you lose strokes - you should be able to play Par on most holes, with two putts. Why is it more?

  You might consider to play WGT's weekly tournaments - the conditions are regular, and you learn the courses.

  Meet other TPs and Masters in your CC - sharing information is progress!

  If you identify problems in your game, come here to search for solutions, and to address them in the public.

  You might start with the wedges:

  What are the yardages of the MAX and the ATV for full shot and punch? What is the PW yardage? You should find an equal spacing!

  Re-consider your plea.  I was moved up to 'Legend' and what did it get me?  Well, for one, it gave me the longest tee shots possible.  So now, when I'm in match play, I have to give up to 80 yards a hole to someone with a much lower average score than me.  Also, the 'standards' for making good shots have tightened along with a generous number of lip-out putts.  Do be too hasty to advance your level of play.  You never know what's in store for you.

  If you're really hell-bent on becoming a Master go to St. Andrew's front 9 and keep playing it, scoring 33 or less until your average goes below 67. But just remember what the other players have told you.

  All of my promotions from master to TM were not based on my average. I was told that I beat few higher tier in match play, reason for tiering up. At Tourmaster, I won few credit tournaments, I was promoted to Legend, even with higher average. Now at Legend, I don't play as much, nor enjoy it, actually hating it right now. Unless you have the skill, and the proper equipment, I wouldn't rush.
