Oosty just said said that the greens at Jack's place is running at 14/15 on the stimp............what do you reckon yours are at??

I would say probably 9 normally, maybe ten/eleven at it's height twice a year but with links you really can't have the much faster.

Fastest ever I have putted on? Surprisingly I would say Hexham in Northumberland about ten years back....so fast they were actually out of control but by Christ they were good!
 
Ours were 10 after they cut them a different way a couple of weeks ago. They should get even better too as they've got a consultancy firm coming in soon.
 
14/15 ?!! haha, that's eye watering stuff!

Ive never putted faster than 11 i think. My lace is around 9/10 right now.. IMO I prefer slow but true greens to fast and untrue greens

Please don't tell me STRI??!!

Oh dear.

Yes. Are we doomed?

To be fair it was on their recommendation that they were cut a different way initially, and they improved 100% in a couple of days.
 
ours are all different speeds from 1 to the next not at all consistant makes me think of joining somewhere else next year

ours are like this beggsy, but all about 5 I should think, I've taken out the odyssey and put in a sledgehamer.
They suffered a lot do to the very cold winter and dry April and I think they are trying to let them grow to fill in the gaps again. :(
 
Ours are at 9.5 at the moment. And very true. :)

Can't go any quicker due to the large slopes on the greens.
one of my playing partners was above the hole on the 18th yesterday and had to mark his ball 3 times as it kept rolling away.
 
To get a true stimp reading the ball has to roll so they wouldn't be able to put a number on ours.

On the rare spots they are rolling - 8

Amongst the bobbles - 6
