Putting query TM to Legend

  I've just (2 days ago) elevated from Tour Master to Legend.

  I was ready for the massive Tee to Hole distance increases for most of the holes. However, despite the fact that both of these tiers both putt on greens at "Tournament" speed, I'm suddenly finding that the greens have sped up to a much faster pace than it appeared when I was a humble TM.

  I thought that "Tournament" speed was the same for both tiers. Am I wrong?

  I'm only a lowly Tour Pro but I distinctly remember someone saying there are two 'levels' of tournament speed greens, I suspect you have just found the quicker ones.

  Hopefully someone from that level can confirm this for you soon.

   

  Did a search, there are a few threads about this, none that I found gave great detail but they did confirm there are two tournament speeds.

  There is about an 8% difference, You'll soon get the hang of it.
