Couple of things...
Are the season stats going to be available this season? Not a big deal by any means but something I find interesting to look at from time to time.
Another thing I've been thinking about is the Weather Report. At this point it feels like anyone who wants to know the conditions in advance will know them through friends that have played or streamers that have played. Perhaps its time to just have each round conditions come out when the event is live? Leave it as is for the week in advance and then once the society event is live, have all 4 rounds and conditions displayed. At least the Green Speed! It would be nice to know before firing up a round if the Fast being displayed pregame is actually 163 fast or a random default speed that is coded as fast. A Kinetic tourney a couple weeks ago had Defaults at 187 but pre game showed fast. As Fast was the only information showing up for green speed pre game, it was impossible to know if it was 163 or 187 until you were already putting. Frustrating but not the biggest deal obviously.
The way I see it any one who wants to know the conditions to practice can easily find them, so we might as well make it so everybody can see it, mostly just to know the exact green speed when it's default.

Not sure if you're looking at the conditions settings for the round before you click 'start round' - that will generally show you what the speed/firmness is set to - if you finish a round - but don't back out to look at conditions again (just click Advance)- but then look at the course information after the fact - it will only show you the published defaults - which are not necessarily what is set for the (next) round. |

What I am talking about is the conditions you see before you start a round. The course I'm talking about is Jomazano Marshes Tour. www.tgctours.com/Course/Details/23322The Default speed is Fast, but the actual default speed is 187. So when you see it pre round, it shows as Fast but ends up being very fast. Seen a couple other courses with 187 defaults that appear as simply Fast in the pre round conditions. My main point is that Default is almost always displayed as Fast when it is anywhere in a range of like 160-187. sometimes you get the "Med.Fast" displayed but Fast aint always 163. |

There's a discrepancy between what is actually selected (i.e. Very Slow, Slow, Moderate, Fast, Very Fast) when setting up the event, and what is displayed on the conditions page in-game when you go play (Slow, Med. Slow, Medium, Med. Fast, Fast). It's just different nomenclature.
HB really needs to get their stuff together and fix these things because they are confusing. Just remember that when "Fast" is set up, it's exactly 163 ft, but "Fast" on the conditions page is anything faster than ..? (I don't know the ranges but maybe 164+ is "Fast" ??)
