  Just played Beth F9 RR on a moderate to see.  Greens played fine, and not one last minute flash past all good.

  Wind was showing as between say 8 - 12 MPH.  I just went in the middle for calc and seemed fine.  Maybe WGt might wish to jump in on any thinking behind this e.g, 10 gusting 12 or just take your pick and could be anything around it.  

  OK wind is wind, and don't want to get too into it, but if there are any gems WGT wish to share in the thinking please feel free:)

  Brackets  in the CC - Thanks.  Not dismissing that at al, but if you could get them for inter CC stuff too that might be good - just a thought.

  I just used my usual champ basic calc (75% then +/- elevation), and all seemed bang on speed wise.

  Not tried any multi play, but a tentative thumbs up so far.

  Hi

  Wind is never precise and I believe deviations in past would take that into account. Now, we show the range, so allow for adjustment :)

  I guess that the CC brackets aren't working yet. The round time options seem crazy too.

  they do seem a bit crazy, 24hrs is the max, i thought there would be a 72hr or 96hr, most of the 16 players will not be able to complete a round in 24hrs, if you set up an 18 hole bracket tournament it would be better to have a good length of time to complete your round.

  an 8 player bracket tournament would be good to have too

  I've been waiting for so long that I will buy my PING G25 Full Set anyway, what I really regret is the fact that there is none of the club include a minimal improvement, even one 0.5.

  No matter, I know that I will continue to enjoy it anyway try to win something good.
  Can say nothing, thanks guys for this update including brackets on country club.

  David.

  I sure don't see much new. What are the big CC upgrades? 

  Ping G25s seem a waste. Bracket tourneys last just 24 hours?

  Blitz single round, big deal. Champ green speeds, meh.

  Guessing at winds speeds is ridiculous.

  Will we now see a range of green speeds for each of the old ratings?  Championship between 11 and 13, tournament between 9 and 11 and so on?  We've always known greens could play slower or quicker from one round to the next, it'd be nice to see that difference by the stimpmeter rating.

  I don't have a problem with that, winds have never been 100% as stated anyway.   In real life wind gusts and swirls, it's more realistic if it also does it here.

  Never understood why they don't update the News section while the site is down.

  Just checked that, and looked that way to me.  Shame if is, and hopefully they address this soon.y certainly need to if is the case.

  More for CCs generally should be something they do as well.  Champ speed greens is a positive though as many requested that, and nice to be able to practice if have an inter CC MP against a tL coming up.

  Per above was never exact anyway.  I think this is a positive step.

  Guessing time is a at premium.  Ideally be nice but no big deal to me as follows soon enough.

  After I had cleared my cache etc and went back into game settings to change everything back to my preferred settings, I noticed that there is a new option (at least I think it is new) under advanced tab about putt power recommendation but when I toggle it on or off nothing happens.

  I imagine for new players this would be a huge help, not having to worry about speed and focusing more on the break of the putt instead.

  Can anyone get it to do do anything?

  all they did was change the name from G20 to G25, stats are the same.
