| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses green speeds, stating that "the biggest problem with green speed is that everyone thinks he is an expert on the subject." Describes the Morris Method of measuring green speed, stating that "the Morris Method has two main components": "daily green speed measurements must be obtained on at least one green (two is preferred) every day" and "golfer, without any knowledge of what the measured green speed is, are given a card...at the end of their round and are asked to rate the speed of the greens." Suggests that "greenspeed and green contour should be inseperable." Concludes that "the best way to know what is going on is to create what is going on. The Stimpmeter was made for the superintendent, and the way to get the most out of green speed is to manage for an ideal green speed." |
