Gonna have to agree with Wizz's perception of the OP. I thought the same thing when I first read it, and I believe it is just the way it was written that could lead people to have read it wrong. The buddies backing him up the way they did actually made it look worse then it was. All in all, it was a miscommunication.
BTW, Master is easy. Dont know why everyone flips out, takes a few days to learn the new yardages but after that its smooth sailing.
