  I am an excellent putter on very fast, the most commom greens i encounter, but I am at a total loss when it comes to Tourny Greens. Any info or suggestions would be helpful?

  Don't hit the ball so hard. :-)

  Figure more break, especially downhill.  Take off about 25% for distance - a bit more downhill.  And what he said...  ^ ^  C

  I'll add to this with,  remember  tourney greens are slightly faster if there is a Legend playing.

  What I did: every 3ft add one foot to your club distance. (for instance, a club with a 30ft max is really going to go 40ft).

  Since your ball is going to be traveling so much slower, the green's contour is going to have a much more profound effect on how the ball breaks...this is something you'll just have to get a feel for. 

  Hope this helps.
