    Basically so far, it seems just the next level. When greens are very fast, it takes less meter than when they are regular, obviously. So just treat this like its going from regular to very fast. What you need on very fast, you need less here. Just pretend the speed is super fast. Trust me you will find the distance zones and it becomes just like putting on the other courses

    By "regular" I assume you mean fast. Don't forget that different tiers play at different green speeds, Masters play at Very Fast, the level below Tournament green speeds.

    The new green speeds are going to take adjusting... especially at Oakmont. I'm now having to aim 10 feet farther left or right on the heavy breakers and hope to end up somewhere close.

    some of the ready gos have regular speed which is ALOT slower than very fast, even for master tier players. Play those to get feels for different green speeds
