  Done it. Got to Legend. 68 days of play (a lot of play lol) not including the week off.

  Not played a round yet, think I may take a day off playing...probably won't ;)

  Thx go out to Rusty and all who've posted tips in the forums.

  My top tips:

  1. Read the forums, these people know the game

  2. Don't buy new equipment just because it becomes available. Changed my bag way too much. Scores got better when I stuck with my clubs and selected ball.

  I'm chuffed to bits.

  Cheers

  All I can say is exceptional results in less than 68 days of play.

  Congratulations Pryke!  I knew it wouldn't take you much longer.

   

  I couldn't agree more about reading the forums, it's a huge help and I count you as one of the many posters that I have gained a lot from.

  Best of luck at your new tier!

  congrats!   I needed a break too when I made Legend.   The few days before trying to making the last few points of my avg go away burned me out a bit.  

   

  Break was very short, lol

  Back playing already. Didn't take a full day off, 1 day I only played CTTH to keep my daily bonus up, big difference playing from Legend tee's.

  Am I deluded in thinking the green speed is slightly different? I know its tournament but I could swear its faster lol

  Thx for the nice words all.

  It is. A lot of non-Legends just plain don't believe there's a difference. WGT doesn't help this misperception by calling them the same thing-Tournament. I gave up proving it and now just wait until they get to Legend themselves. Too trite to say told ya so.  LOL

  WTG on the new tier.  ;-)

  p.s., I suspect you're seeing lipouts and putts sliding by the hole. Speed kills. It's the biggest reason for a lot of those lipouts. Slow it down, buddy. LOL

  Thx YJ.

  Thought I was going crazy. As TM I could always get it within 1-2feet even from 80+ now they're whizzing by lol
