I'm feeling a little disheartened after being made master before I really feel I have got to grasp with the game. Just spent $40 on equipment to help me at pro-level and now finding the gear struggling to make the distances required at master level. I just played out my skin (for me....) around Bethpage Black and only managed +1 (71) off the master tees... I fear I'm going to be losing out on $$ invested in gear having to get master driver/s. Shame you cannot chop stuff in at more or less the same price you paid.
Any thoughts on best way forward? I can see what I really need for these longer holes is that 280 yard driver (have 255 one now) and a 3 wood to suit.... but I don't want to spend more $$ really.
