What is a stimp meter? We have all heard the golf announcers comment on green speed and equate that to feet; the greens are stimping at 10 feet or 11 feet etc. So what exactly does that mean? A stimp meter is a 3 foot long piece of angled metal (generally) that has a small hole on one of the ends that can hold a golf ball. The stimp meter is lifted at the golf ball end slowly until the ball just barely roles down the stimp meter and roles out on to the putting green. That distance is measured and recorded, and the process is repeated in the opposite direction (to account for green slope). The average of the two distances are calculated. Most tour greens roll at about 10 11 and US Open greens can run to almost 14!

Did you know? If a ball mark is repaired on the green as soon as it is made it will completely heal within 24 hours, but if left the entire day it can take up to two weeks to heal.

It's Saturday! Head on out to the course for a great day of golf!

Lighten up on the course! If you want to hit it longer (don’t we all) make sure your grip is not too tight on the club. A good rule of thumb (pun intended) is to grip the club to the point where you watch your fingers turn slightly white and then back that off until the white is gone. Not to loose to where the club may fly out of your hands, but loose enough to allow the weight of the club head to release the hands.

Missing the short ones? One of the most common causes of missing short putts is lower body movement. Next time you watch a tour event on television notice how still the pros keep their lower body, there is absolutely no movement. Watching old videos of Arnold Palmer drives this point home, as Arnold had such a problem with this at one point in his career, he went to the awkward pigeon toed stance that anchored his lower body in place. #golftip
