Question 1

Will all our greens always be in the speed range of 9.0-10.5 in Summer?

AGC Greens · Accepted Answer

No, this is just a 'TARGET' range that we try to achieve. If we were to measure the speed of each green after cutting or rolling and attempt corrections we would need double the budget. Our staff understand the differences between our greens but are constrained by the available resources. We are first and foremost a members club and not a Championship Course. Therefore inevitable differences in speed will occur whilst our staff endeavour to keep the speeds within the “TARGET” range. Keep in mind of paramount importance is to not kill the green by cutting it too low.
