Petition To Change Green Speed Naming

  I have a personal petition for WGT. Could you please, at least for one try, give me a headwind at St Andrews 13 and a tailwind at 14 If that is not possible, at least crosswinds will do. I don't need anything else for the moment. Seems your wind dispenser only have these two. Every time I try St Andrews back 9 I get a tailwind on hole 13, hell I don't need it, there's a rough and a fescue reachable with those stormy winds and ball will never stop after landing on green unless it goes straight into the hole and the angels do a miracle. For hole 14, please I don't need those 20 and something mph wind in my face. Just once please, I'm not asking for anything else for the moment. Amen

  I would love to see WGT implement a system where green speeds are named by Stimp meter rating instead of current system.  Can't understand how we can have two entirely different green speeds named the same thing (Tournament).  One speed is about 3 feet slower than the other on 15 footers yet they are named the same thing.

  At the very least come up with different names, instead of both named "Tournament".  Could even go with Extremely Fast and Tournament, but for please differentiate between the two.

  Alternately  each course has a practice putting green, You could choose to have a putt on the P/green before 1st or  take ur chances...no stimp meter confusion then....  yet another small tweak  that  would require bugger all code, as Im sure you WGT guys have all sorts of mini programs in ur servers  that are mainly for ur own amusement.

  Im obviously quite prepared to be proved wrong but  this seems  to take care of this problem & the putting green  that  so many have asked for.

  How is that a terrible idea???   There is no "tournament speed" in real golf, and that is the intention of this game...to simulate real golf. Then why not have "ice fast greens"???  "Mud greens"????   yeah, that's sarcasm allright.  I understand how the clubs and balls work with different status levels, but green speed should remain a constant, and there should only be 4  or 5 speeds: very slow, slow, standard, fast, and very fast.  That's all.
