  I am a Master level.  I my tier average is 63.95.  I have met my 40 required rounds, but average remains the same.  I post good scores and bad scores.  As i understand, the bad scores dont cont after 40 rounds only high scores count.  I sent this question to wgt and have received no eply.  Why does my average not lower.  Im trying so hard. Thank you

  
  
  With an average of around 64, it's most likely the case that you don't have a lot of scores above 33 or 34 for 9 holes. Basically, you're going to need to shoot 32 or lower (for holes) to lower your average. I just don't see too many of those, which is why your average isn't decreasing.

  Your average was 63.95 when you wrote this and it is now 63.93.  There is only one score I can see that could have caused this drop, the 65 at St Andrews.

  It will be something like:  63.95 included 2,558 strokes, the 65 will have replaced a 66 so knocks one stroke off your total which then gives an average of 63.925. 

  Another way to look at it is when you get the total strokes included to 2,520 your average will then be 63.  This means 37 strokes to lose but a 31/62 will knock 2 (or three for now) off that every time you can get it.  The odd 30 would be very helpful :-)  Good luck.

  I have played 826 ranked rounds as a legend and have an average of 59.92. I have yet to tier up as well. Not sure what the problem is. I have contacted WGT about this issue.

  Does that include any par 3s, par 5s, or custom courses? None of those count as ranked rounds for purposes of average or saturation. I"m guessing that's what the issue is because I see a number of custom courses in your score history.
