Golf And The Speed Of The Green

By Benjamin Rowe


There are many definitions to learn when taking up the game of golf. Stimping is one that may or may not be important because usually those who play in professional tournaments or those who play more often are concerned about it. Stimping is the speed of the golf course or the speed of a golf ball as it travels on the ground after landing. Stimping is useful when you want to improve your score or when you are in the process of learning how hard to hit a ball.

A stimping meter can be used to measure the speed of the golf ball on the green. This meter is simply a ramp that is set up on the green. Golf balls will be rolled down the ramp and the distances in eight directions will be measured to determine the average distance before the ball stops. Most golf courses have a stimping rating of 10 or 12, which means that the ball rolled 10 to 12 feet before stopping. Keep the stimping rate in mind while you play so you can shoot just right.

In general, small golf courses have lower stimping rates as compared to professional courses. This can be because their artificial grasses are not as good as those used on professional courses or because they are using real grasses instead of artificial turf. You can improve your game by finding out more about stimping rates and grass types from professionals.

Because weather and the time of year you want to golf differ, the stimping level may be different. This can be the explanation behind an unusually bad game. On the other hand, there may have been too much wind or wet grass to contend with that day.

If you are a new golfer, the level of stimping may not mean that much to you. New golfers should perfect their swing first. By perfecting your swing and your putting technique, you will be able to overcome many other obstacles on the course. Occasional golfers who want to play professional golf should learn about stimping levels only after they have perfected their swings.
