Abstract/Contents:"The Stimpmeter was used to evaluate the greens speed of nine different courses in 1979-80. Weekly measurements were made on the same three greens at the same locations. Green speed averaged from less than five to nearly nine feet. This wide range was scarcely expected. Excess of water may have an uncontrollable effect on green speeds. For example, the breakdown in green speed in the wet periods of 1979 shows the body of the putting surface can be lost. In this case it was short-lived. While some courses showed significant variability between greens and some speed change through the season, a majority of the courses in this study showed remarkable uniformity."
