    Have the green speeds gotten faster lately ? seems my putts are going past the hole 3 to 5 feet when I used to be really good at keeping it 2 to 3 feet.I putt on TM tourny greens and have for quite a while.(will get Legend one of these days LOL)

    And on another note how much faster are Legend tourny  And how fast are championship greens.The greens at STA on the tourny sunday killed me I couldnt even get close.Any help is appreciated.

    The short answer for your question, re legend/tourney green vs TM 'tourney' speed greens, is: yes, legend is maybe 5% faster

    From the putting tables posted here earlier, a 30 ft putt will roll

    39 ft on TM tourney greens,

    40.5 ft on Legend greens,

    42 ft on Championship greens.

    (no guarantee from my side though it helps me to quite accurate lengths)

    I think a rather simple rule of thumb with tourney greens is about 60 to70 percent of value.

    This is true, but when a legend is playing with you the greens are faster 'legend tourney greens'

    This chart will give you the divisible for all speeds, it is however, missing Legend Tourney greens though, they are 1.35
