  LOL!!! - Too funny Bogeybuster. Were you putting for birdie there?

  yes it was a birdie putt, but as we all know that hole is tricky and I preceded to 6 putt for a nice juicy 10.   

  As for the picture, it is actually from World Ice Golf Championship in Iceland!

  overtheedge.....CASE IN POINT: Either you got it or, you DON’T, skill that is......and it’s hard to argue the point that "skill" is the key factor of being one of the Greats. 

   

  Hopefully all the "whiners" will read this..........good post 'edge

  Greens are stimpmetered based upon tier.  Legend tournament greens are faster than TM tournament greens. 

  How do you know this?

  This post by WGT...

  WGTadmin2:

  Last, but not least, the green speeds on WGT have been adjusted for the Legend and Tour Master Tiers.  The greenskeeper has been asked to tame his inner demons and save the championship green speeds for special events. Here are the general guidelines we have given the greenskeeper for regular play (actual green performance may vary):

  Tier          Green Speed Stimpmetered

  Hack               7.9

  Amateur         7.9

  Pro                  9.0

  Tour Pro         10.0

  Master            10.0

  Tour Master    11.0

  Legend            12.0

  Once again, we greatly appreciate your feedback and thanks for helping us shape this product

  Thanks, mem. Now please clear up my confusion.

  Legends' default green speed is Tournament. TM default is also Tournament but not the same, correct?

  How do you know which Tournament speed you are playing in RGs and what is the default speed when Legends and TMs hook up?

  I have played Legends in multi format and don't see a difference in the speed for me. Does the Legend?

  Tx again.

  That is my understanding...

  Good question, maybe someone from WGT can explain - anyone???

  Couldn't tell you, I haven't played any multi player games in a few months.

  To tell you the truth I think it's a little bit screwed up that the default green speed for both tiers is called "Tournament", unless of course the speed is the same and the post by WGTadmin2 on 9/3 is just wrong. 

  I'm just as confused as you.  The only thing we have to go by is what WGT stated on 9/3.  It would be nice if they would either rename the default green speed for one of the tiers or define what "tournament" speed means when playing RG's & MP.

  Yes it would.This goes along with the way I'm thinking. I remember the fuss when the Legend tier was started and their green speed was what we saw in the past Opens. Right now that speed is in only one place and that's the front 9 RG @ KIA and called Championship. (Would be nice to see that speed elsewhere, IMO.)

  At that point that article came out and the speeds were calmed down a little at the Legend tier, ostensibly still faster than TMs. The TM default was the previous Master default so nothing changed for me but apparently it did for Legends. That is why I'm trying to find out if there is a difference because it seems to be so in the tournaments. Something like if it's All Players the speed would be the faster Tournament while the tier specific speed is a little slower. 

  It would be nice to know............

  they are different for TMS vs Legends....I know because I play with a TM nearly everyday and we use different formulas to calculate the meter strength necessary for putts. Legend greens are about 7% faster than TM greens when playing ranked or scored rounds....
