I worked at a country club in Myrtle Beach for over 10 years. I can tell you from experience, average golfers love fast greens, rave about how fast and true they are. And... average golfers can't putt on fast greens (9 or faster). Fast greens with any amount of grain, break, or front to back slope leads to 3, 4 or more putts. And that drastically slows play .
