  Bold and caps are both offensive statements!

  Anyway, If you play a legend, and you are a Tour Master, the green speed will be determined by the person who sets up the match. If the Legend invites you, it will be Legend speed. If you invite him (her) , it will be TM speed.

   Simple?

  How can there be a difference in speed if they are both tourney?

  That's the irritating part about it, both speeds are called Tournament. Nobody knows why. There are definitely 2 different speeds.

  Correct

  Incorrect.  Speed will still default to Legend speed.

   

  Green speed will always default to highest Tiered player.

  I thought champion speed was higher than tournament speed?

  There are 2 different Tourny speeds, a normal Tourny speed green and faster tourny speed green....They don't tell you until you start to putt...lol

  The highest speed is Championship speed greens... this is faster than the 2 Tourny speeds I mentioned..... Actually, not sure but there might be different Champ speeds too

  Esssy must be on Holidays... haven't heard from him for awhile....lol... Anyway, I did mention to him that CAPS and Bold were shouting to everybody else and is a bit rude... but that's  Esssy....lol.... sorry for posting his name Wgt....but all in good faith :) and no offence intended.

  Not sure on pin placements though... I thought the pin placements are the same for everybody. 

  In a Multi-Player game the green speed will default to the highest Tier. So if your playing a Legend...the green speed will always be set to Tourny... I think it should be set to Lowest Tier player personally.... We have been there done that and I don't think it's fair to the Lower Tees to putt on our greens.... Just Saying

  Cheers

  Quite true and still one of the dumbest things WGT has going.  We're going to have 2 very different speeds for greens but call them the same thing.  Well thought out.

  I'm still all for giving a stimp reading on green speeds because this could open up several different parameters for game play.
