  After reading FAQ'S about what its all about and so on I only have one ?

  Before I waste my credits say against a Legend, myself being a Tour Master, does anyone know what the green speed would be? Would it be Legend Tournament speed or Tour Master? The reason being is that I have read the speeds vary somewhat.
  

  Sure would come in handy on the first hole.

  Thanks in advance!

  hi

  the speed should be in same fashion as other multiplayer games. usually tees are same but greens as fast as highest ranked player. in your game if you are playing legend, then greens speed would be tournament.

  Icon you need to stop speed reading. Did you even see what the actual ? was.

  Which one? This one....

  mnshiner:

  does anyone know what the green speed would be?

  Or this one....

  mnshiner:

  Would it be Legend Tournament speed or Tour Master?

  To which he replied they were like typical multiplayer matches where the speeds default to the highest tiered player. What part of that do you not understand?

  After doing some research about this topic maybe you need to take a break read what you had to say about this subject.

  There's 2 Tournament speeds-one for TMs and one for Legends. They're both called Tournament but aren't the same. The Legend speed is 10% faster than TM.  The only way you know is by putting on them.
  You need to look up your posts before you reply to my ?

  Since Legends and TMs play Tournament greens there are 2 versions. The trick is figuring out which one you're on.
  And on 03/12/2011 jakestanfill7 posted this:
  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.

  Now the reason I asked the ? was because if the speeds are different the the approach shot might have a little more roll than what I'm used to.

  One more thing to add to this subject. Since you cannot practice on the Legend speed greens or Championship ones. How fair is the Skins game?

  Why would I want to reread something I already know? I'm happy you know it, too. It's painfully obvious you didn't understand the answer to your question. Maybe you meant something else.

   When a TM plays a Legend the green speeds default (automatically go to) the higher tiered player. Since Legend is a higher tier than TM  the greens would be Legend speed. That's exactly what Icon said, in a different way. 

  The posts you quote are not the same as your question. They dealt with facing Tournament speed greens in single play and not knowing which version to expect. You gave a specific example to which the answer is easy to figure out.

  Was pretty crystal clear to me from the very 1st reply.  Since you show in your latest post here that you (mnshiner) understand the difference between Legend and TM tournament greens, and you have been told that the higher tier players greens will be the default, what exactly is your continued question?

  Sorry in advance. But maybe his brain is muddled by  what his name infers.
