    Really think you guys are making a mistake by putting these in mainstream tourneys. While I think it's ok to see them ever so often, they aren't realistic enough to put in a lot of Master, Tour Master or whatever RGs, monthlies, etc.

    First thing is they are wildly inconsistent, esp the short ones. Also, it's just straight annoying, but maybe that's just me. Lastly it's just not realistic, isn't that what you strive for? Been playing golf for many years, and I hardly ever see my lipouts end up 10' out for another putt, that's common place with this speed.

    It's not about the challenge, I love that, but these are just an annoyance.

    Come on, tournament speed for legends.....these should be reserved for tournaments. no one below legend will play a multiplayer game with us, greens are really suck now!

    These things are insane... I've never played on them before... but I do think they're sorta fun... and it's good practice.

    I wouldn't use them too much, but just enough to make people who hate super fast greens check before they enter a tournie.

    BTW, if you think tournament greens are bad, I had Championship greens on KIA B9... those were even worse... lol.  :D

    I totally agree with everything you just wrote.  In real life you would never see these greens so fast then slow and here its just almost a joke.  I have spent a good amount of money playing this game and it was fun and seemed fair to me with the clubs...balls and green speeds.  The money I will spend going forward will be 0!

    I can only quote my good friend Icon who once told me he likes his games HARDER and the greens FASTER.   

    HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER - HARDER - FASTER 

    Well ... at least I hope he was talking about the greens ... :)

    I'm not sure what to complain about. Maybe, that all rounds are played at US OPEN

    speeds, that more people are less likely to play you at those speeds, that more

    legends will play less rounds, that more people will play less rounds. The days

    of shootin in the 50's and 20's are going to be few and far between for us "Legends".

    Most  legends in real life are either dead or no longer playing. Maybe they (WGT) are

    trying to tell us something.
