  Hello all,

  I'm a lvl 51 about scratch golfer with a slightly upgraded driver (Burner) and a great Ping wedge (tour). I have invested 20 dollars and want to try to keep my investment at that if possible. I haven't bought a set of clubs because I was thinking of waiting until 55 to get the Daytona putter then the G10's at lvl 60 to match my wedge..... I struggle with distance now but the speed of my driver doesn't bother me.... I have a few Nike balls (free) but I don't want to buy balls consistantly again if possible.

  BTW how do you unlock courses?

  I'm dying trying to lvl up but I'm making progress... thank you in advance for your opinions... Cheers and Happy new year!

  Definitely get the Lvl 59 (or 60, w/e) G10 Irons........best $12 you'll spend and they'll last quite awhile.  I didn't check your wedges, but since the PW in the G10s goes 115, I'd go for a 100/80/60 (or thereabouts) wedge combination.  

  I would spend a little more at the outset, especially if you're planning to stick around, b/c you'll get frustrated by a bag full of starter gear quickly.  If you need a cheap ball, there are several good ones, maybe something from the "GI2" Series depending on what you like.

  There's no "unlocking" courses, but not all of them are available in all modes of play.

  I should have enough credits to buy the Daytona putter at 55 then the complete set of G10's at 60 and I already have the matching 64 wedge for that set so I should have all the clubs I need for a while in my mind.

  I might buy balls at that time since I more then likely will move up to tour pro and be much more competitive once I get longer clubs with better spin. Now I have issues with longer approach shots rolling off the back of many greens.

  How many points do I need to get to lvl 60?

  Well, living in Canada might make it tough. Several thousand miles south is a city named Anaheim where you can find a place within Disneyland called "Fantasyland".

  Obviously you feel my thoughts are not realistic but what would you recommend? Buy great balls? once i get to level 60 I should have the best clubs at that stage and then I hope to win enought to upgrade from their .... not going to happen?
