The large number of green speeds on this game

  I have encountered at least a dozen or more different green speeds during my short time playing this game.

  In my opinion there are too many, and it is confusing at times.

  Would it not be simpler to just have 4-5 (i.e. Slow / Medium / Fast / Very Fast / Lightning Fast).

  Fewer green speeds in conjunction with the variable wind speeds and variable pin positions already in the game, would allow for setting up courses from easy to extremely challenging, without being so confusing.

  Any thoughts on consolidating the green speeds?

  There aren't "a dozen" - case solved ;)

  They are Slow ("stimp" 7) / Standard (7.9) / Fast (9) / Very Fast (10) /
  (TM) Tourney (11) / (L) Tourney (12) / Champ (sp?) (13) / Champ (sp?) (14)

  I'd not count the four extreme "fun" speeds here.

  To me, it's a good mirror of real golf, where "a million" different speeds await us.

  Actually there are and probably even more than a dozen, In CC tourneys Every speed has a range from the lowest number up to almost the next green speed. In one tourney we had this week we had tournament speed of 12.8 almost as fast as champion 13 and lately every Weekly single play 9 hole tourney  in the champion tier has has green speed of 14.5.
