"Anxious to know what speed of greens will be offered to the players."
Willie:
I think sort of like how race day lists the surface of the horse track, the speed of the greens offered to the players will probably be listed as "fast," perhaps even "FAST!"
If you want some analogy people like us can relate to, allow me to borrow my buddy Bill Webster's Maserati and take you for a ride between the Valley Forge exit and the Harrisburg East exit on the Pa Turnpike. Normally one can do that in around an hour driving a bit over 75MPH. In that Maserati, if I wind it up full we should do it in about 27 minutes and then you should be able to get a feel for the speed of the greens that will be offered to those players.
And Bill, do not worry at all if I take a few of those turns about half way to Harrisburg at about 167 mph in that Maserati as Webster absolutely assures me the only possible way to get that particular car to leave the road at any speed is to actually steer it off the road!
Unfortunately, things like Titleist, Nike, Taylor Made, Callaway et al golf balls may not have the same kind of traction Webster's Maserati has. And so if you see a bunch of those golf balls of those Walker Cup players swerving and sliding and falling off greens like #5, #12, #15 and such and completely crashing and burning do not be surprised or shocked by it.
Or alternatively, William, you can give me all your money and together we can start up a new golf ball company called The Maserati Golf Ball Co, Inc, LLD.
