    There is nothing is stopping you from upgrading your own set, naughty1.  You not buying clubs is your own self-imposed limitation, thus you must sleep in the bed you've made.

    Don't start crying foul because you've run into opponents who decided to support the game they love to play so much and whom refuse to play within your custom set of rules.

    Where are you guys coming from. I NEVER CRIED FOUL.  I found it funny that the masters do not mind playing 78 pros with reg clubs, and they have super clubs. I found it funny that if you would suggest that they shed their super clubs, they say not fair. GEEZE, give me a break.

    I have no problem with anyone buying super clubs, it is not important for me to show a 65 and spend money to do it. Some take this very serious, some are playing for money and some, like me, just want to play and stay with people who have like scores and like clubs. I do not mind playing a master, but good GOD, why do I have to give them a club advantage. Repeat, I will play them at practice, and give them the +10 avg they have on me. By the same token, I do not think these masters should be setting up with a pro at a 75-78 avg, and try and sell them that they do not have an advantage

    C'mon, people purchase clubs to improve their score

    Also, you are off topic of the thread, Do not correct others, unless you can live with the rules

    It has little to do with distance advantage and everything to do with familiarity.  Most folks who have upgraded haven't touched their starter sets in ages, in some cases over a year.  Thus, they are no longer familiar with the tendencies, the spin rates and how the clubs react from non-fairway lies.  Not knowing how your equipment will perform puts you at a huge disadvantage.  Much more so than simply a few yards off the tee.  So yeah, it's not really fair, but not in the way you're thinking.

    What if I bought you a new set of PING clubs?  Would you go straight out without playing a shot and start matching up with people?  Likely not.  You would probably practice many rounds by yourself before jumping into the fire so you could learn all the intricacies of your new equipment.

    You're running into issues with this because you're asking people to assume a large disadvantage from the start.  You're not going to find too many people who are willing to do that in scored/ranked play.  That's just the nature of the beast, no pun intended.

    This is not going to win any argument BUT

     If people thought they could shoot the same score with regs, they would not buy supers.

    Does that make sense. Why buy a cow, when the milk is free.

    It is totally demoralizing to play against super clubs, see your drive go 237 and the other player go 286. With the wind on the 7th, the super club can put you on the green in 2.

    On the fourth, super does not have to go over the sand. On the first, a bad first shot for regs loses the hole. for supers, you still can be on in 2. Anyhow, to each his own

    No, you're making no sense whatsoever. And screaming in bold underlined fonts won't help. There's an innate sense in every human being of wanting to improve; and there's a sense in many of us that people should get paid for quality work. When those two senses combine, many of us decide to upgrade our equipment. We feel good about it, because it improves our play and financially supports WGT so they can continue developing this game. You have re-posted your anti-upgrade rants many times on countless threads, both in your previous 3 forum incarnations and in your current one, and there's no sense in rehashing this over and over again endlessly.  

    PS: On a positive level, you've been lately properly employing the Quote button. Kudos on that!
