I had a discussion with greenkeepers in Denmark about the stimpmeter as a tool to measure green speed, and as a tool to assess the uniformity of green speed within and between greens.
4 points 1. Green speed described, compared to what we actually report 2. Measurements I’ve made of green speed 3. Measurements under tournament conditions 4. Case study: 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine
Second sentence: “Variations in speed, whether from one green to the next or on different parts of the same green, can do more to negate a player’s skill than can ragged fairways or unkempt bunkers.”
