  In the practice mode you can choose your green speed.  Otherwise it is assigned to you based on your level.  Just wait until you make it to legend and above!  Appreciate what you now have.

  I wish we could select a green speed when doing individual hole mode. We always are asking for some kind of practice facility and the answer is always use the individual hole mode but without having green speeds that are the level we are currently at it is an exercise in futility

  ^^^ Everyone would be very happy if they did that but as usual they won't bother taking the time or effort to update it.

  We get a lot of what we don't need / want, and not much of what we do I've come to realise in the 11 months since joining.

  If they could figure a way of charging us for it I am sure they would have that option made. They do not even bother to respond to legitimate requests by their customers.

   

  stay somewhat classy

  Don't ever believe the green speeds, they do what they want, when you least expect it.

  As I recall.......when I reached Tour Master (and then, Legend).....the Green speeds have been TOURNAMENT speed.  Unless....I play in a WGT or Country Club Tournament...then, each Tournament has a wide variety of Green speeds.

  I'm so used to playing on TOURNAMENT Green speeds....that I struggle with slower green speeds now.  AND....I still have a TON of improvement to make on Tournament speed greens.

  As one member below pointed out.....you can't always TRUST the green speeds.  There seems to be some "slight" variations playing the SAME speed on different courses.  For example....to me, I think TOURNAMENT speed greens on OLYMPIC play a bit slow....almost like they are actually "VERY FAST".  And, that little difference can make you misjudge putts.

  If you' play WGT or CC tournaments.....it really is a good idea to play some PRACTICE MODE rounds (where you can select the GREEN SPEED of your choice).....as "Doublemocaman" pointed out in his comment below.  Also......BEFORE you make it to the Legend tier....if that's one of your goals...it would be a GOOD idea to go into the PRACTICE MODE and practice your drives from the BLACK TEES (Championship Tees)....as they really are further back from all of the other tees....and more challenging.

  I think for almost EVERY WGT MEMBER...........PUTTING is the most difficult aspect of this game (it definitely IS for me)...just takes a TON of practice.....and MANY rounds. 

  GOOD LUCK!

  they ALL definitely play differently........
