  The green speeds are not very accurate  its like glass in some and sand in others when it says different . My handi=cap is taking a beating because of this.

  You'll never have a reading on true green speeds until you've putted on the first green of a round. Just the way it is, IRL and on WGT.

  Also, different courses have different "real green speeds," and some have more break than others, regardless of what the dots indicate. There is no short-cut or cheat sheet to handle this...just experience playing the different courses.

  But here's a hint: The harder courses generally have more break than the easier ones.

  And then there's Merion.

  +1 - green speeds are variable!

  Congrats to your thousandth, K!

  @W, there are no green speeds in your favourite games, Blitz!

  Also, your average (not handicap - thanks, Bob!) will only count your 25 best Tour Pro rounds - no "beating" from the worst.

  And it's not a handicap! It's an average. Those are not the same things.
  
  Jus sayin.
