Garry,
I had a look into your profile.
For s.o. with an average of 88+ Pars are mostly a dream. Keep hanging on, learn the ding, consider wind and putter speed, then pars will come. IIRC I only had two sub-par rounds until I became a Tour Pro, and now it's difficult again to break par (av. 72+)
You might consider to put your money into clubs first instead of balls. Maybe TourPro Driver&WD or just a good 3WD (I love my Raptor!). Clubs don't wear, pro shop balls do ;-)
Lateron, you might need new clubs for length if you are willing to spend a buck or 2.
AFAIS, most of the crashes seem to come from quitters in multiplayer rounds. I played alone until recently - no probs. If it crashes, jump in again, even tomorrow. As a single, you have all the time you need to think and practice. Play ranked 9&18 holes strokeplay rounds which you need to advance in tiers.
Enjoy!
