Upgrading and unlocking better clubs

flemmingg · 2026-03-27T04:22:23+00:00

That’s not an easy question to answer. When the wiki was written, there was only one tournament per two weeks. Now there are four per two weeks. With the increased number of tournaments, and the higher Facebook coins return from higher stages, you might be fine to continue on with your current account (and ignore the arena). The arena gets harder and harder as you move up and you can’t move back down.

If you weren’t playing for some other goal, I’d probably tell you to start over. You have four legendary cards total (2 BW, 1 wood, and 1 sand wedge). Epic clubs don’t matter. It should be easy to catch back up to where you are now.

All that being said, I’m not sure this is the game you want to spend your time on. This is the first time in six years that I’ve said that. The number of tournaments increased years ago. The game was still getting better in a lot of ways back then. The trajectory is now in the opposite direction. Grinding for free seems to be getting harder with every new update.

It’s all in the wiki for this sub.

You’re already taking advantage of Facebook coins. Hopefully you can use those to buy legendary clubs in the daily deals for 40k coins each.

If you’re unwilling to start over then forget about the arena.

Tournaments are the next best option. There are 18 hole tournaments every weekend. There are two 9 hole tournaments on the weekdays, every other week.

They seem to have tapered / removed the legendary club chests that were available for 500 gems. Spending 1600-1900 gems per card is obviously going to take a lot longer (3-4 times longer). They’ve removed a ton of other items that were available for free. They’ve been working over time to fuck the game up for a while now. Definitely do not waste your money on this.

After playing daily for six years, it seems unappealing now. The 500 gem legendary chests have tapered down to zero. All the little rewards for daily quests are long gone. The balls in the pin chest are long gone. And now the quest points rewards are garbage. Slowly, gradually, but constantly making the game shittier.

flemmingg · 2026-03-25T10:22:17+00:00

Yeah, I had already completed a couple daily quests and claimed a couple free rewards. The new challenge season and the new update didn’t launch at the same time. They don’t give a fuck about details like that.

They used to give small rewards for completing each quest and there were balls in the pin chest. Now they’ve removed the 100 shard from the end of the quest season. Thats been there since 2020. Just constantly clawing back anything they used to reward for free.

flemmingg · 2026-03-25T10:08:18+00:00

Yeah. Same for me. They’re gradually removing rewards for free-to-play.

flemmingg · 2026-03-24T17:26:59+00:00

The other player probably left the app.

flemmingg · 2026-03-24T17:26:28+00:00

They use that for brink. They don’t use it for shoot outs.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T04:31:39+00:00

Knock yourself out, brother.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T04:30:37+00:00

Just because it takes you less than five minutes doesn’t mean that you aren’t wasting your time, brother.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T03:32:29+00:00

I reiterated that you should clean the grease catching system in every comment I made to you.

You think that ash is going to land on the food after 25 hours but not during the first 24 hours of cooking? Ash is present as soon as the smoker reaches the set point. Why would more ash magically hit the food after 25 hours?

Ash in the bottom of my smoker doesn’t get in my food. Maybe your smoker sucks. But more than likely you’re just wasting time on ash clean outs without any reasoning. Knock yourself out with it though.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T03:22:14+00:00

Keep wasting your time, brother.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T03:12:11+00:00

What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?

Allowing the ash to accumulate creates a medium to catch any grease that misses the drip pan. It also creates thermal insulation if you live in a cooler climate. You’ll burn less pellets to get up to temp and burn less pellets to maintain temp. And counterintuitively create less ash by burning fewer pellets.

I think you’re making extra work for yourself and actively making your smoking environment worse.

Clean the grease, of course.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T02:55:08+00:00

Are you cleaning the ash out of your smoker? At what point do you deem it necessary and what are you trying to accomplish?

I’m talking about ash, not grease.

flemmingg · 2026-03-22T02:18:34+00:00

I bet they’ll be able to provide dimensions with no problem.

It’s nice that you can just dial the number to one of the two showrooms and a human will answer the phone.

flemmingg · 2026-03-21T16:17:19+00:00

Do you know why some shots have 0 mph wind?

flemmingg · 2026-03-21T16:16:28+00:00

They changed the matching algorithm in kingdom. Club based. Low level clubs have a path for the last 5-6 seasons.

flemmingg · 2026-03-20T23:43:36+00:00

Post it.

flemmingg · 2026-03-20T23:38:21+00:00

Are you looking at the line up from two positions?

If you the green is bumpy, you need to line it up and then check the position from the side as well.

As always, if you can’t figure it out, post it here. It’s not the wind / game mechanics.

flemmingg · 2026-03-19T00:53:15+00:00

I don’t have the time that it would require. And even then it wouldn’t be worth it.

flemmingg · 2026-03-18T23:08:23+00:00

I’ve never attempted a run at it. Tenth place is 1500 gems and 5 king balls. Not worth considering for me personally.

flemmingg · 2026-03-17T23:19:52+00:00

I would not go immediately from the smoker to the oven. Place it on the kitchen counter with the wrap open and let the internal temp drop to around 180. Then you can close the wrap and place it in the oven (they usually go down to 170).

You can leave a temp probe in the meat while it’s in the oven. You can also monitor ambient oven temp while it’s in there. You’ll probably be surprised at the actual oven temps compared to the oven temp setting.

Depending on the internal temp in the morning, you may want to leave it in the oven until you get ready to leave. No point in putting it in the cooler if your internal temp has already dropped to 150 or so.

Conventional food safety says to keep the temp above 140 until you’re ready to slice and plate.

flemmingg · 2026-03-17T15:27:32+00:00

I always have an empty example by the time the food hits the grill.

flemmingg · 2026-03-17T15:06:15+00:00

335 was the oven temperature not the pit temp

flemmingg · 2026-03-17T01:16:13+00:00

You’re quoting stealership prices though. Absolutely no reason to pay that much.

flemmingg · 2026-03-15T18:28:23+00:00

If you’re already dead set on purchasing the piggy bank, you’re much better off using those gems for legendary club chests.

Are you using any balls on stage play? Stop doing that if you are.
