  Play oakmont and Royal St Georges,( if you can make legend from those courses you'll be ready to play any course) I personally wouldn't want to be a legend under level 80.

  Have fun out there :)

  No point in speeding to Legend if you are only going to embaress yourself once there.  Play all the courses, learn all the greens - there is no substitute for experience.  Enjoy the game post all your scores and level up faster.   You'll find you learn more in adversity.

  Thank to all players.

  Now I agree that going up too fast is neither good, neither is good a brainless playing.

  On the proposal I'm noting down infos about every single hole played. That's a stressing work that makes me sweat from the bottom of the leaderboards.

  Is there anybody that keeps a diary of his/her games. In other words, are you going by istinct or have you got a more, say, scientifical approach?

  I keep some simple written notes on approach shot locations. Also, some landing areas for greater roll out of tee shots. Making my own "Wedge Pal" I hold up to the screen has done the most good.

  A cahier des jeux seems to be a precious companion, yet at early levels things change dramatically from round to round and keeping notes seems to be a waste of time. But, as the sage Cerino says, spots and rolling paths on green do the most good.

  There are some players that keep meticulous notes, mapping all the greens on all the courses, etc.  There are some players that just keep some of the more important info.  And many, like myself, that have one sticky posted right above my monitor that says "Be patient" and that is my only note, the rest is memory and instinct.  Whatever works for you.

  And on the matter of getting to Legend fast, I'll echo what was said earlier.  I recommend Oakmont, RSG, and Congressional.  If you are going to play a course over and over to tier up, play one of those.  A player could get to Legend rather quickly playing only ST A's, then play Oakmont and lose your mind.  If you are going to play one course over and over to get to Legend, make it a hard one.  Besides, easier to shoot a low number on a par 70 course, just in general, isn't it?  Easier to get a 3 on a par 4 than on a par 5, regardless of the relation to par.

  JaLaBar:

  "Be patient" and that is my only note

  ok. the sense on steadily playing same courses over and over is to learn them and then pass over. I must admit that beside aiming for the Legend tier I'm looking for the perfect shot's formula.

  If you are going by istinct and you are still a good player, you are a genius.
