  I come across it here and there in major tournaments
  and when playing with tour legends, but I have no way of practicing
  that speed. this was the same issue with the tournament speed
  back when I was a master, luckily since wgt added the tournament speed
  to the practice mode, but for some reason left out the championship speed,
  so please add that as well in the next update.

  since you mentioned Tournament Greens.  It'd be nice to have them available for Blitz Best of Putting.  Sorry for the mild hijack but we are talking about green speeds.

  But yes I agree, it's hard to get used to a green speed if you can't practice the one you play.

  Happy Golfing

  Been asked for as an option for a while..still no word..

  Maybe because only a small % would find the option useful ? (comp credit wise)

  Hi

  we only recently added tournament speeds. Some settings we try to limit to certain tournaments to keep things interesting.

  It isn't interesting at all.

  how is it interesting having this disadvantage
  at major tournies like the virtual U.S open
  compared to the higher level players that play this speed by default?

  if you have it on play, you should have it on practice as well,
  otherwise it's really not a fair game.

  Champ greens by "default" for "higher level" players, has only been here for a few months since TL was created and we get the Champ greens in the weeklies...and the tier  RG's now.

   

  Before that, you sucked it up in a champ green RG and the occasional weekly..NO ONE had an advantage for the US Open, in  fact I don't recall Oly plying on Champ greens, R1 was tourney, R2 was slow...IIRC.

  The main problem is that in all the MPs I've played against TLs my putting has gone to pot and I've made several 3 putts. Hard enough anyway to beat a TL! A big advantage that they can play on them, whenever they like but legends can't.
