    They already had a 13.5 a few months ago at Whistler. The vid is in my blog posts somewhere. Even on those bonkers greens, and having never seen that speed before, it was still perfectly playable.

    Yeah but....lets be honest............

    Your a fookin WGT Freak ov nature Mags ? ;-))))))

    'Shine on you crazy diamond '   

    LOL yes.

    Putting on this I have always seen as a real plus, and a huge draw for me as have always liked its realism.  I know most of us, and big time for me, have ADPs we could only dream off IRL, but even so getting to zelous with green speeds I would hate to see.  If anything ball attributes could be toned down a bit to up the realism, and I would have no issue with that.  I hope WGT keep an eye to what real courses play at putting wise, and don't start putting serious stuff on some happy clappy green speed.............Even if 13.5 is playable here I want here to reflect real world as much as possible in an area I always found a real great part of the game realism wise.  Not checked what Whistler has ever been set to IRL, but IRL 13.5 there would be too much I am thinking.  I think (not checked) Beth has been near 14 before, and fair play as flatter greens there......JMO on realism:)

    Ahh yes!!!   The realism of 40 speed greens makes this game so much more realistic...

    WGT never said those 20-40 stimp green speed were realistic.

    14 stimp is still very bearable for Legends & TL's.

    I do believe nothing over stimp 13 will be available for practice so begginners will not play those greens anyways.

      Understood Eric, and I also have no problems with 14 speed greens, I actually welcome them.  I guess my jokingly poking fun at the new model of realism WGT has expressed the newer users interest in was lost in the translation.

    That's not really fair.  It's like pulling up to a sign saying "slick roads ahead"...then Dale Earnhardt pulls up next to you and says "hey, if I can do it...".
