Are Greens Faster?

I’d like to know when was the first ever stimp reading, and what was it set as for tournament standard.

I believe tournament standard is now 11, so why do some clubs think it’s ok to have as high as 13 for handicap golfers?

Stokes their ego?
 
SAOL in their Kilgrimol a few years ago were the quickest I have ever played. No idea of their speed. Huyton and Prescott Stu C’s old gaff display theirs. I played it last year at 10 and they were complaining how slow they were !
