Shot -25 on your tune up Wags Good shooting. My game is starting to come together (for me anyway). Am 13 under through 2 rounds on Tim's practice tour. Pin 3 (which Todd says may not be in the actually event) is the only one that gives me trouble and that's coming up next. Not dreading this one as much as I one. Actually, kind of like the course now.

Loft is your friend on that pin. But it's not going to matter anyway if they ditch it for the event. That'll help scores a lot.

Shot 20 under on my last go round the way the tour is setup now so I'm pretty confident I can do well come tee time.

If you're going to move up the ranks, then you're going to have to play fast and firm greens. As long as people are aware st the start of the round/tournament then I see no harm in it. Bring it on I say. Think I've only played this course once, but I remember scoring very well on it, so looking forward to this practice tour once I get Drayton out of the way tomorrow

You guys need to let mroola know you would like pin 3 in the rotation. I thought it was a good idea to put a tougher setup in for one day. Good change up and lets us all see what the tougher tours are playing. I wouldnt really call it maxed firmness though.

Good change up and lets us all see what the tougher tours are playing. I wouldnt really call it maxed firmness though. Todd, there are actually only 3 firmness settings regardless of where you put that slider, which I really think HB should change. The settings are soft, medium and firm. Soft is anything from the bottom setting all the way up to just before the middle setting. Medium is the middle setting Firm is anything after the middle setting. So in other words, say you set the slider at 2 PM. You would think that would be somewhere between medium and max firmness. it's not. It's the same as if you set it to the far right or 5 PM. Once HB changes this, we can finally get variable firmness on the greens besides soft, medium and firm.

The reason I say it isnt max firmness is the fairways are medium and only the greens are firm. And contrary to popular belief I am not so sure there are only three settings even though everyone but me thinks so. The reason I say this is because I go in and hit shots from the same place over and over on every firmness setting and I get different results for the same shot on par threes with the different.
I know the gncd as well as anyone and I know what everyone claims but I say go try it in the designer and see what happens. I also think green speed can affect it and the roll out you get.

I will definitely test it myself. However, I seem to recall Keith himself say there were only 3 actual firmness settings. Let me see what I come up with.

Okay, just did a quick test. I can do more extensive testing but I don't think I'm going to find much difference.
I took a hole and my 120 yard approach shot. I set firmness to 5 PM or max and the ball landed at the edge of the green in back of the flag just before the fringe.
I then dialed the firmness back to 3 PM and took the same shot. No difference in where the ball ended up.
Maybe back at the forum we can get somebody at HB to confirm that there are in fact only 3 firmness settings. Granted, green speed and other factors will affect how far the ball actually travels, but given all those other conditions, there is no difference between a green setting of 5 PM and 3 PM.
As far as your particular course, and mind you I'm not complaining about it as I've grown to love this course, when I land my 185 yard approach shot at the very front of the green on a very large green and it goes all the way to the back, that's about as firm as you can get. On the holes where I can max loft my 3 iron (around 150 to 170 yard shots) I can cut down the rollout. But on many of the holes, you simply have to live with the resulting 30 foot putt that you're going to be left with. Unless there is some kind of trick that I'm not aware of. By all means, please share. But that pin position is, IMO, max firmness. At least I've not encountered anything more firm IF you're just talking about landing on the green.
