  3,450 games cost about 345 sleeves of balls.

  Your math is usually spot on, but you were just a tad off here. One gets 20 9 hole rounds out of a 2,5 dot sleeve, not 10. And double that for a par 3 course, with almost the same XP.

  Still a huge number though ;-)

  Since Tiger anounced he's going with Taylor Made woods and irons I'm venturing a guess that those will be at least some replacement clubs.

  Would like to see a fire sale as someone mentioned.5L drop to purchase. Get that L95 Nike driver before it goes bye bye.

  Hmm...

  120 hit per ball x3 = 360 in a sleeve. That would equal 20 games of 18 shots / 9 holes. Add 14 putts for an average score of 32. Should be feasable for a L95 player, though above my meagre skills.

  Though this doesn't count in the odd lost ball, I may have to revise my old assumption of 10. This resulted from an overall count of the games that I played over a span of time, divided by the sleeves that I bought. IIRC, I was a Master then, playing Tour-SD with 100 shots...

  Very happy i bought them now with the nike clubs now gone and the new callaway apex irons in place at the previous higher levels.

  i wonder if everyone will upgrade to them now i see they are 100 credits more but they both have slightly slower meter speeds

  Oh man, wish I saw this a couple of days ago.  I usually lurk on the forums to try and pick up some tips, but totally missed it.  I was about 5 credits short the other day, when I wanted to buy the Nike Level 81 irons, as I figured I need to go on an update run again to get better.  Finally got the credits yesterday, only to see it missing, came here today to find out what happened, and this, lol.  

  Hopefully, the new clubs come out soon.
