| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted at Crystal Downs Country Club, Frankfort, MI, to "determine the right green speed for a particular course", "use the Stimpmeter for its intended use (uniformity of green speed)", "determine the effect of diurnal change on green speed", "determine the impact of environmental factors on green speed", and "attempt to maintain a consistent annual green speed." Results include that "81% of the golfers rated the green speed as o.k. or fast/o.k. when speeds were between 9.5 to 10.5 feet as measured with a Stimpmeter...Although the green speed between #7 and #12 differed at several times throughout the season the magnitude of the difference was rather small and in most instances would be undetectable by golfers...For almost all measurement dates green speed was greater in the morning than in the afternoon...Analysis of data from the first season does not indicate any discernible effects of any of the environmental factors on green speed." |
