  It's telling me that it is tournament speed greens.Played first 9 holes and coming up short.Back 9 started to hit very fast green speed and guess what not short anymore. A little white lie WGT . Thought I would give you a heads up.

  Hi,

  when new ready go's went live few days ago., wind/green speeds were changed. Perhaps that's why you are experiencing change? Give it a few more rounds and make observations and you should be fine:)

  No Icon I know the green speeds were changed. The game is telling me they are at tournament speed but they are rolling at very fast speed. So what i am saying is that your are running the RG at very fast green speeds but are telling us tournament speeds.

  Thanks

  I think it is the toned down version of 'tournament' speed, there seems to be 2 of them?  I know I left 2 putts short on the front 9 yesterday before making a slight adjustment.  Pretty annoying how they do that, but its been going on since 2009.

  Ok thanks Bollox!  I'm a little slow so I didn't figure it out till I got on to the back 9. I'll know for the next one.

  I finally was able to find this thread. I always remembered seeing a list with green speeds and their stimpmeter rating.

  All we really need know is what speed of tourney greens we are playing on in ready go tourneys when it only has Tournament listed. It would be nice if the stimpmeter speed could be included next to the stated green speed, e.g. Tournament(12.0)

  I suspect there is a difference between 11.0 and 12.0 that's tournament.

  the 11.0 is the slower and likely what you are getting. if you play normal multi player a as legend, you will get 12.0. I think that's what is causing the discrepancy

  Is there any way that the exact speed could be stated? Would it not be easier to change the speeds from the name of speed to the numbered speed?

  I do not believe so.

  Why would WGT mess around with the green speed here. At times it plays very fast, So I adjust to it. Then all of a sudden it seems like tournament. If you're going to call it tournament, make it tournament. Sorry, but this is very frustrating.

  two different tournament speeds now? C'Mon
