Buggyyy:I don't even know what the stimpmeter is, so it wouldn't be easier for me
It would be if you knew what a stimpmeter rating is. This is a golf sim trying to be as close to real as possible and when you reduce a game like golf to numbers, these stimp numbers become very relevant. They create a grey area that can only be figured out by putting on the green. That's where seeing an actual number would help.
WGT goes by these numbers in the game. The way I understood the use of them from the chat is this way. In tiered tournaments, i.e., all TM or all Legend, a whole stimpmeter number is used. TM=11.0, Legend=12.0. You get the speed you're used to at that tier. In mixed tier tournaments, however, something in between a whole number is used and isn't constant, i.e., 11.x, 10.x, etc. Since that random number determines the green speed for a particular situation, I could see where actually naming the greens wouldn't work.
The end result is making this game as real as possible. Those putting greens the pros get to use aren't the same as the ones on the course. Not even close. They're perfect putting surfaces to practice on. (Having one here with the pertinent speeds would be hugely unreal.) They still have to figure out the real thing on the first few holes and so do we.
FWIW, I had your position until I realized it was futile. ;-)
