Bob,
I am not so sure. I think Pat is giving a classic example of where the dangerous mix of ignorance and vanity will lead. For what ever reason he thinks that the difference between a green stimping a 12ft and another at 6 ft is that the ball on the green stimping at 12ft actually does roll quicker.
Pat,
Regardless of the stimp reading of a green the ball will always reach the bottom of the meter at the same speed. A higher stimping green will take longer for the ball to slow to a stop due to less friction giving a longer stimp reading. At no point will it roll quicker than the maxium speed of the green with the lower stimp reading. You however claim it will. How in your opinion does the higher stimping green accelerate the ball rolling across it?
Golf balls do not roll faster on a higher stimping green they roll further which is why stimp is measured in distance and not speed.
