  I just turned legend several days ago and I knew that the courses would become longer when that happened.  I am sure that I will be able to make the adjustment.  But is it my imagination that even though the greens remain "Tournament", they also have some sort of difference?  (More break or a change of speed)  I haven't made more than 2 or 3 birdie putts in a round since the promotion and it hasn't had anything to do with the added length.

  Yes, the greens are a lil quicker. So with that said ball will tend to break a lil more. All you need it lil time to adjust, you will be fine.

  BTW, Big Congrats on making legend, well done.

  Hi Gerry and congrats for making the tips.

  Yes the greens at legend are slightly faster than that of TM tournament greens. So effectively there are 2 different tournamant greens, both of which can vary slightly day to day.

  Thx a lot to both of you! I've subtracted 10% and my putts are dropping again.

  From the numbers I have, about 4% would be more appropriate:

  130 % / 135 % of the putting scales.

  Alas, downhill you should expect "ridiculous speed" (tm Spaceballs).

  OTOH, what works that works, and the green speeds are apparently subject to day-to-day variation in the same range.
