Green Speed

Problem

You need a quick way to determine the speed of the green due to a limited amount of practice time before your round or because the green has too many people on it.

Cure

Instead of aiming at the hole like everyone else, aim for a tee, lay down a ball marker or use the edge of the green. Try to get the ball to stop as close as possible to your target.

Therapy

Set a few balls down on the green about two feet apart. Start putting the closest ball and quickly move back to the other balls. You can do this in just a minute but it will give you an idea how fast the greens are.
