  Is the green speed in a ready go on the greens what you are? In other words if you are a Legend is the green speed in the ready go Legend Tourney.

   

  This question is if the ready go is not specified for your Tier

  No. 

  From my experience....RG is slightly slower than TM....which is in turn, slightly slower than Legend.

  My general assumption on Tournament green speeds:

  Tier-specific (ie: weekly unlimited play) = your tier's tourney speed.

  "All-players" (ie: NKF Cadillac) = TM Tourney speed

  Ready-Go = RG Tourney speed.

  Agree with Jerm, seems like there are at least 3 "tourney Greens" to contend with.

  RG's are the same speed for everyone regardless of tier.  What speed that is exactly can be a tad variable but from experience is usually a fair bit slower than "Tournament" tournament speed.

  The drama is really only that first medium length putt.  Personally, I find it difficult to judge whilst holding rosary beads, rubbing my lucky rabbit's foot, using a calculator, and trying to put myself into a zen like trance.

  Also, in Legend tier, you will find some RGs with Championship green speed.  Which is wonderful, since the only way you could practice on Championship greens is in the WGT Majors, or in those RGs.
