Our new Big Putt Modular Putting Greens are launching soon!
Our friends at the local golf club, recently helped us measure our stimp meter reading and we are happy to say that we have been stimped at a speed of 13.5. How’s that for a realistic, true, clean putt?

So what exactly is a stimp meter reading?
The stimp meter was designed by golfer, Edward Stimpson in 1935 and redesigned in aluminium in 1976 by Frank Thomas. The stimp meter is commonly used by greenkeepers and is a device used to measure the speed of a golf course putting green by applying a known force to a golf ball and measuring the distance traveled in feet. The distance travelled by the ball in feet is the ‘speed’ of the putting green. The stimp meter can also be called a green speed reader.
One of our local Pro Golfers Lawrence Dodd , kindly made a stimp meter for us and set about the challenge of finding out our stimp meter reading.

So at 13.5 how do we measure up?
On our 6m Big Putt green the ball reached 13.5ft using the stimp meter device.
An average putting green is around 10 on the stimp meter – so this is a fast green by comparison. In fact we dug out this article on How to putt on super fast greens like the Pros
