sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:48 GMT -5 *

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:00 GMT -5

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:31:35 GMT -5
