Very fast or tourney?

  I've noticed the Whistler RG (for the last month) has shown 'very fast' as the advertised green speed... then you play it and it's tourney speed... No big deal, WGT is allowed a mistake (or 5)... Now I play the Bandon par 3 thing, also advertised as 'very fast'... until you actually start playing it... then it's 'tourney'...

  In my chart of distance per putter movements I have 2 Very Fast.

  They show as very fast 10 and very fast 11.  The 11 is what used to be master tourney speed.  No, neither is Fast as it comes up as fast 9.

  Example my putter 1 movement, fast 9 is 6 feet, very fast 10 is 6.5 feet, very fast 11 is 7 feet, tourney 12 is 7.5 feet, champ. 13 is 8 feet.  It's my 15 and 30 foot scale.

  Also have seen in come up as Fast 9 and Fast 10 instead of the 2 different Very Fasts.

   

  Edit, this popped up 4 or 5 months ago I believe.  It was some time after the numbers got added to green speeds.  Might have happened after an update, can't remember.  Just adjusted for it.  I know, Icon, should have reported it at the time.  But oh well.

  Add the Kiawah front 9 tourney to the list... shows 'very fast' when you sign up, then 'tourney' when playing... except they play like very fast... left a bunch of putts short, which I never do... So, now I'm confused....

  200 credit best of famous holes is uneven lies... PLEASE ADVERTISE THIS!  I never got into the uneven lies format... as if there's not enough crazy stuff happening in this game. 

  What is with all the 'mistakes' in RG's lately????  FIrst the green speeds are not as advertised... now we get uneven lies tourneys that are not advertised as so...  WAKE UP WGT!!!!
