Play the ball as it lies and play the course as you find it. The ability to adjust to different conditions is the mark of a good player. Blaming the speed of the greens is making an excuse. You should be able to adjust to green speeds after an hour or so on the practice green.

The exception is, of course, when greens are extremely fast and very undulating, That's what makes Augusta National so difficult. The it becomes a game of making your mistakes in the right places.

I doubt that many golfers will ever experience green speeds over 10.
