    I mean do you look at what the green speed is on each hole?

    I just want to know if I am the only one who looks at tourny green speed when I sign up... then assumes its the same on all holes on that tourny course.

    April 18-Hole Unlimited Play OAKMONT CC

     

    I was trying to play this one today. Trying as oak kicks my butt on a good day lol. I restarted the round by the 7th hole for the 5th time before i noticed. And was wondering why the greens were kicking me harder than the usual.
    As i missed badly a fairly easy putt I saw it laughing at me from the corner. STANDARD!
    Took a few tries to catch it as I think some greens were very fast and others were not. 
    I worked very hard to make the tier I made in 19 days. Did so for the main reason of getting my greens to never change! As a lower tier they changed game to game and was very hard to find a groove. The only time I want it to change is when im in a tourny that all player are on tourny greens in spite of tier.
    I read another post about legends being suddenly at new tee's... as a change just for this tourny to add more challenge. And in a few months when I'm a legend maybe I will need a surprise to add challenge. But till then its a joke i don't find funny.
    So if random green speeds is another added challenge I wont be playing in this one. Also feel added change/challenge items should be posted as this affects our game an we have a right to know before wasting our time or money/balls on them.
    If this is not a planned change then you have a tourny with freaky greens that needs fixed asap.
    Peace clams...

    Big edit note... this is not how i posted this and when i tried to fix.. adding nothing twice its still not right. So maybe this is item 2 you need to fix. I swear this merger with trugolf is just messing up every system on this site from forum to tournaments. TRUly sad.

    Green speeds do not change in the middle of the game.

    I am a Tour Pro on very fast yet my green in that simulation was in fact set to standard hence why I bothered to post on the issue.

    I know that the greens should not change in middle of games... but they could. Thats a fact cause all speed profiles are present on system. Hence a programming fluke can be possible.

    Some greens are slightly faster than others within a round. The 17th at St. Andrews is a prime example. As for the actual stated speed changing, then I have never had this.

    Yes I am aware that greens runs a lil different hole to hole.. like a real course.

    THE BOX IN CORNER SAID STANDARD!! for the cheap seats ok.

    So if there is a reason why my very fast green went to standard green mid round then please explain so I can avoid those games.

    If there is no reason then there seems to be a problem!

    Hope that makes my point clear.

    Peace clam
