    (edited with apologies)

    ApexPC:
    Your score relative to par is what counts

    Not at all! Nine hole Par of the courses in question is between 34 and 36, but regardless of that, the gross score counts: 33 = 66, 32 = 64.

    ApexPC:
    At a 64.52 stroke average you have to have a 9 hole score of  1/2 that, 32, or less. And an 18 hole score of  64 or less.

    Wrong again! A saturated average of 64.52 comprises scores above and below that number, perhaps 66s and higher, and 62s and lower. Any score below the highest score in the mix will drop the average, so I think that 33s (= 66, and probably 34s = 68) will work on the average.

    ApexPC:
    Of course, Par 3 and Par 5 courses don't count towards your stroke average because they have abnormal par.

    Lucky to say that this part is correct!

    Concerning the OP's claim, me thinks that it should be wrong, too, because I'm pretty sure that any of the last scores shown, 33, 32, 32, 33 on Pebble Beach, must have moved the average.

    I would need a precise statement of

    - starting average and

    - course, score, average after playing for each round

    for at least 10 consecutive scores.

    Solarflares:
    Reddevil16 - 32's and 33's aren't going to change your average noticeably.

    They will!

    Any 32=64 kicking out a 34=68 will drop the average by about (68-64)/50 = 0.08, well noticable.

    The math is difficult because we probably don't know all the good scores. But you are right, the visible scores are quite packed, probably no more 34s to replace.

    Also, 32s won't make him a Legend at any time because the average must drop further, to 61.00.

    So, outside any math, the game must improve quite a bit...

    ...and I'm gonna have a closer look next time - I apologise to you.

    I am stuck as well. And i know why. I am not shooting near enough 29's and 30's for 9 and sub 60's for 18. Since the first of the year I have dropped from something like 60.2 to the 60.15 that it is now. Oh i could set up a few baby tee unlimited play CC tourneys on the front of St. Andrews but that is not how i wish to make TL.
