I've only just hit rank 3. I had no idea you could reset stats for clubs. What is the benefit of doing this? What are the level up points at the end of a round for? I've been using the same clubs for most of the game.
You're not resetting the stats you've been leveling up with your clubs. You'd only reset (recycle) your custom clubs, which you get in rank 7. The upgrades on custom clubs are in lieu of the increases afforded by the other preset clubs. You just decide how to distribute the upgrades. So if Big Air maxes at +8 on power, you could create a custom club with +10 or even +20 or more on power. Or +10 on power and +10 on control. Whatever configuration you like.
The reason why you might want to recycle your custom clubs is to try a different configuration or, the real reason, to get better upgrades. You can upgrade your custom clubs up to 11 times. Each upgrade gives you 1-3 levels. Usually your first set, you might only get 1-2 levels each upgrade. But some have said after recycling them, you tend to get more per upgrade.
Hey guys I added a link to the discord chat channel in the OP if any of you are interested in joining. It's related to the sub reddit I help moderate for the game. Here is the link for people looking at the last page of the thread.

Yes, please do join! If you're not familiar with discord, it was originally set up to provide voice channels to party chat on PC. However, most servers use a lot of text channels in ways that are similar to a forum.
What is the highest rank you can hit in this game? Once you hit it, is that the end of single player mode?
If you mean golf level, it's 15. At least until they add more levels, which some are speculating they will do in a future update. In Oob, levels 16-20 could only be achieved through online tournament wins (20 also required an albatross).
If you mean rank, it's 7. Also known as special rank. That's where you play VS matches against "revenge" characters (way upgraded versions of characters you've already beaten) and special characters. However, you can only play one per day. And you can't replay them that same day if you lose. You'll have to wait until they come back around.
