>>but I do know that in major tournaments they will stimp all the greens to make sure they are consistent.<< Not a true statement. In a lot of cases there are many greens on major courses that it is impossible to stimp. They take a readings based on their set-up to see what the readings are but they set the course based on cut height standard being used, on the green not visa-versa. Cut height at this years US open is 1/8 inch. Jim P.S.- Major tournament greens are double cut to achieve consistency.

tc, "greenskeeping is the art of keeping the grass on the edge of death at all times" Lol, sounds a little bit like the game of love, but thats another discussion. Now you assumed I had a hot round. Sorry to say I was a bogey golfer, but it felt like a fair score and sometimes that can be enough for me. Thanks to you and mag on the greens. Its just so much more fun to putt when you know what they are going to do. I will take fast over slow anyday. Yes they were bent grass. I have played down South on that "other" stuff and its a different game. I am sure I could get the hang of it, but I was pretty surprised the first time I putted on them and they broke on a flat. The grain is almost a non-issue with the bent grass. Have a good one and play soon. TH
