  I'm not a great player(just made Tour Master), but I've had the opportunity to play with yoban and a couple of other legends on this game.  That was a great help to me, just watching them play and getting advice from them is a great thing.  

  The hacks to TP or even master and tour masters join because they want to learn from the top notch.  IMO

  There's a recent post somewhere titled 'Mentoring',

  Look it up.

  My oldest friend here on WGT first played me when I was a hack.He was supportive,fun,patient and informative..we play to this day and he still wups me lol!

  No hypocrites,no smoke,no mirrors,no obfuscation,no mental midget drivel sporting the IQ of a fence post and (lol) no quitting on the 18th green.

  You wanna see what a hypocrite or something morbidly akin to it looks like,go look in your own mirror.

  God bless,appreciate freedom of choice mate :)

  as bad as i play i can probably give 'some' tips to hacks and amateurs because that is how you learn stuff, heck they may have a tip for us that we never thought of because of our tier

   

  Hacks and Pros won't even play each other; let alone TMs and Legends.

  No offense but are all you respondents that naive?

  My last word on this topic > bash and hate people all you want if that's the best person you can be.  I'll see no more of it.  It's disgusting.  Period.

  I'm right in the middle as a master, and I love both playing with legends that kick my butt even when I get to play from the ladies' tees (you know who you are) and some alt-shot with total newbs.

  What I hate is when some newer players are quick to quit, but you know they are only cheating themselves. Couple of hits on a ball wasted, no big deal. While we are in the "waiting room"* hoping for the quitter to come back I sometimes rant on about sportsmanship--I guess this counts as a teachable moment?

  Thank you to all of the really good players who have taken the time to teach me a thing or two! That includes TMs as well--I know more than a few who are legends in an "I only play alt-shot" disguise. You naughty sandbaggers, you.

  I got to play a round with Lizzie once and it was superfun!  

  *Oooh, idea! I am going to write another post about this one.

  You're a quitter.

  We forgive you.

  Have a benevolent day.

  Well, I'm a TM and I just enjoy playing with someone else rather than alone. I play this to relax and enjoy the social aspect of it. If I can help someone, I do. If someone can help me, I thank them.

  Ace...any chance you'd like a game, we can discuss good music!!! LOL
