  Knew Icon was testing those green speeds on his replays!!!! hahahaha....I posted in the Icon trying thread.

  Love this stuff with super fast greens :-) although not with the mega slow greens :-( 

  In one of the replays I saw a chip & the ball running along the hole to end up on the other side of the green on fairway. With those greens I guess some holes would simply be impossible to land close to the hole (the ball will always leave the green) and the only chance to get it close is by chipping.

  The egg-shaped greens and the super fast speed will make many people crazy as it did to me and many others in hole 14 at Beth.....hahaha.

  No princesses this weekend...I'm longing for it.

  Thanks a lot Shoe & Icon.

  Settings:

  • 30 green speed, rated winds, uneven lies
  • 5 green speed, high winds, uneven lies
  • 50 green speed, high winds, uneven lies
  • 4 green speed, rated winds, uneven lies

  I suppose this are the settings per round starting from the first line, right?

  What is "rated" winds, stronger than high winds? if so, over 40 mph.

  This is going to be fun....real fun.

  Good fun once you get used to it. I used the gift St Paddy's day balls, and had to hole some putts like this for a -4 back 9:

  Bendy!!

  Someone who's played this before could probably manage a low 60 in these conditions. I was too timid on a lot of the makeable 4-8 foot birdie putts.

  AgentBrown123:

  when you're talking about 50 green speed. Is that the stint meter you're planning on running the greens at???

  I'm looking forward to this, but if that's true. seems a bit over the top imo.

  Great concept though. I would love to see tough winds uneven lies kind of stuff with a 13.5 14 on the stint meter. Would be very challenging still but perhaps a bit less hair tearing out.

  AB

  Well 30 on the stint meter was possible so I partly take back what I said... It was fun actually... You just have to make sure you land on flat spots on the greens. Downhill putts did stop with the right speed. Uphill putts were not bad at all.

  Now 50 on the stint meter might be something else O.o, some holes like 18, if the putt doesn't go in. it's coming back... Not looking forward to that....lol
