Golf And Stimping

By Benjamin Rowe


There are so many different terms to learn when you're taking up golf. Usually, the ones who are concerned with stimping are those who play golf often and those who participate in golf tournaments. Stimping refers to the speed of the golf course or how fast a golf ball will travel on the course after it lands. You need to know how the green is stimping when trying to improve your score or when learning more about gauging how hard to hit the ball.

A stimping meter can be used to measure the speed of the golf ball on the green. This meter is simply a ramp that is set up on the green. Golf balls will be rolled down the ramp and the distances in eight directions will be measured to determine the average distance before the ball stops. Most golf courses have a stimping rating of 10 or 12, which means that the ball rolled 10 to 12 feet before stopping. Keep the stimping rate in mind while you play so you can shoot just right.

Usually, the stimping rates of small golf courses are lower than those of professional courses. This may be because of the use of artificial grass that is of lower quality or because of the use of real instead of artificial grass. You may want to ask at the pro shop the stimping level and the types of grasses used in order to get a better idea of how to play.

Because weather and the time of year you want to golf differ, the stimping level may be different. This can be the explanation behind an unusually bad game. On the other hand, there may have been too much wind or wet grass to contend with that day.

New golfers aren't bothered much by stimping levels. You should work on your swing first before worrying about the other factors that can affect your game. Your swing and putting technique will be enough to play a good game. For those who golf occasionally, the level of stimping is rarely a concern, but if you want to play professionally, then you should learn more about it once you have perfected your swing.
