I will not be stimping the greens today for two reason, first the rain and secondly the wind. Sustained winds at 15 to 20 mph with gust to 45, it will be to difficult to determine an accurate reading.
Since we have begun to post regular stimp readings, I will post a Question 3B
How do you stimp a green and what is the unit used when giving a stimp reading?
Hint - there are a few basic but very important steps in stimping a green, this is what I am looking for.
You get a stimp reading by rolling several balls (we use 2) out of the "slot" on the stimpmeter on a flat part of the green. You then use the stimpmeter to measure the average distance on that direction of roll (the stimpmeter is 3 feet long). You then repeat this in the opposite direction and average the two readings out. The stimp readings are in feet. Some courses use the form 10'6" or others use the form 10.5.
