Friday 13th June 2014.

I have been requested to publish stimpmeter readings on the blog for those members interested and shall do so once/week generally on a Friday. They shall also be displayed on the Local Rules board outside the Men's changerooms.

Readings are conducted on the same area of a designated green to achieve consistency with these readings from one week to the next. Obviously the goal in preparing putting surfaces is to make them as consistent as possible but this his very hard to achieve due to many factors that influence speed such as age, thatch levels, design contours etc.

Green speed this Friday are at 11'8" which fits into the medium to fast range.

Very Fast      13' - ^
Fast               12' - 13'
Med / Fast     11' - 12'
Medium         10' - 11'
Slow              9' - 10'
Very Slow      8' - 9'
