  Firstly i just finished a round on Andy and hit a 30. My hit the ball experience gave me 29. Just seemed odd.

  Right, what is going on with the putting.

  I have played St And today earlier, once on the RG's strong winds tourney tees and once in the monthly multiple strong winds tourney tees. 

  There was at least 10% difference in the speed of the greens, the monthlies were much faster.

  Are there different speeds of tournament green??????????????? Can someone please tell me.

  And does the wind affect putts???????

  I don't want opinion I want a simple yes and no answer from WGT. Something has changed or is being done with the putting can you please tell us what.

  Thanks Icon

  Hi Paul,

  I think wind does affect putting, but it's relative versus wind/distance and really shows on STA cause you may have 30+ mph wind.

  About tournament greens, I do not know 100% but I can tell you that you and others (like me when I played 10+ rounds a day) make keen observations. So, trust your gut.
