IRL Green speeds vs WGT speeds

  How does a 12 or 13 WGT green speed compare to say a US OPEN green speed?

  Has anyone done any IRL testing of this?

  I believe the green speeds you see here in this game correlate with what is called stimpmeter IRL, a device used to measure the speed of a green.

  

  Google says at the (British) Open, it's usually between 10 and 11, while the US Open & Augusta National for the Masters will have them running around 13 to 14.

  I prefer salt to sugar, especially in porridge.

  I think it's a very reasonable question. Most of us won't play Augusta but it would be nice to get a feel of those greens with what we have at our disposal on WGT. 

  Which begs the question... where is the Augusta add-on for WGT?
