An article recently published by the USGA Agronomy Department details the history of using the Stimpmeter to measure putting greens and how it was originally developed for superintendent to provide consistency from green to green and not intended to measure speed. The article further explains the trend in increased greens speeds and it's negative impact on turf health, usable hole locations, and pace of play. Although the article is four pages, it's well worth the read. Enjoy!
