RG Course Condition

  I may have brought this up before.  I think having random course conditions from one RG to the next will induce more fun into the tournaments, and also more interest.  BPB front and back nines as of late are always Heavy wind conditions.  They also tend to fill slowly.  Randomizing may improve participation.

  Hi Infinito,

  We switch up the RG conditions manually just about every month or so.  We don't yet have the ability to have them switch automatically with each new instance, but it's something we'd like to do eventually for sure.

  Yes x 2 for sure and please include green speeds. 

  Why not throw Master players Championship green speeds once in awhile and SLOW just to throw us for a loop....

  NO!! NO!! Do you irl have the exact same green speeds day after day where you play golf?

  If you do let me know because I will play there too. WGT wants us to believe that this game is close as it gets to the real thing irl. Then they should make it so with different green speeds from day to day. But I guess some people just can't deal with change. Might screw up their so called avg.

  Very funny jayjon.

  As someone who is clearer a better player than you, I'm positive in saying I'm not scared of green speeds screwing my game. I'll shoot low 60s on any course, any conditions, vs. anybody.

  I'm just saying, the reason I don't want to have those conditions is because they are meant for exactly what they said, "Tournaments" and "Championships."

  Oh so you clearly you don't mind the monotonous repetition of playing the exact same green speeds, time in and time out.  You clearly don't want to challenge yourself very much as playing the exact same greens every damn time requires no thinking or calculation what-so-ever. 

  Whatever floats your boat .....

  I kind of see your point that those speeds are reserved for the grandslam tourneys but jeepers peepers we need some variety thrown into the mix and we don't get to play on the ultra fast greens near as much as we should.   Like one or two tourneys a month at least with the nice fast and HARD greens would be great for the extra challenge. 

  I'd love to see some new courses but I'd also like to see some new tee boxes (enjoying the new long ones right now), pin locations, green speeds etc for the ones we have and I'd like to have them randomized often, just like IRL.

  That's the thing though, we aren't playing the exact same speeds all the time. In fact today I played in two Ready-Gos with Slow green speeds.

  Interesting, I thought they were all very fast (except the new Andy's back 9 which is fast)

  Maybe I will have to start practicing up for BPB, I like those greens, alot, just wish I could get on them easier....

  I guess it is only the free tourneys and ranked rounds that have all very fast greens, thanks for correcting that my bad there. Now I know why you aren't so bored of the very fast greens, guess I have to play more RG's.
