Tournament Speed Greens in Masters Teir Ready Go

  After paying entry fees in  Ready Go number 43577, the front 9 at Oakmont, I found that I had to play the tournament on tournament speed greens.  Becasuse this was not the first time that this happened, I decided to note the course and number and comment accordingly.  Specifically, I would have liked to have known the green speed before paying entry fees; because I would not have entered.  Admittedly, I am not qualified nor skilled to that ability.  (That is why I am still at the master tier, I'm told.) 

  Nevertheless, I entered a master tier tournament because I assumed that the conditions would be native to that tier.  If master tier ready-go tournaments are intended to be set at tourney green speed, please advise and save me the entry fees.  I'll hold off on entering any more until there is some official notice, or the day when I figure out how to putt on tourney speed greens.  lol

  thanks,

  sage

  hi

  green speed should be shown on the tournament page before entering,on the website..

  for example:

  • CONDITIONS:Moderate Wind
  • GREEN SPEED:Very Fast
  • HOLE LOCATION:Medium

  that shows on the right side when you highlight a specific ready go.

  Yes, I agree, but it is not.  The example you provided appears after I agree and pay credits.

  At the top of this page, between WGT Community and News, click on Tournaments, then click on Ready Go's.

   

  Find the tournament you want, click on it to highlight it, then look to the right in the box for the conditions.

  You're looking from the game client window, which you cannot see the conditions until entered
