Default How fast are your greens?
I have two courses that I play on, one more often than the other, but their greens are drastically different speeds. My regular course keeps the greens around a 7-9 on the stimp meter due to high winds and lots of contour. The other course, which I maybe practice once or twice a week, and play every other month or so, is much faster, on the order of 12-13. I've heard that 12-13 is faster than what the pros play at the US Open, so when I putt horrible there I dont feel so bad. They keep the greens that fast because they're fighting some sort of disease or bug. Man, it's like glass. Tap the ball and it goes 15-20 feet.

How fast are the greens you play on? Does changing it up affect your putting performance? I typically practice on the slower of the two, but I am playing a round this friday at the latter, and am really dreading my putting performance.

it's kind of funny, but the 3 courses i play the most all have different grasses on their greens and all of them putt drastically different. i'd say the avg. around here (b/c i usually ask before i tee off) on the stimp is around 8 or 9. one of the courses has a poanna greens (i'm certain that's spelled wrong) and they're the toughest to putt on for me. i have a tough time reading them.

Right now mine are all sanded (and they often are... ) so it's like putting on your driveway.

Yet the practice greens are SLOW, so it's impossible to practice for them.

And I don't know about the meter thing, sorry! lol
