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.
Consider me, and my golf buddies one of the "many". I played 9-11 speed greens all my playing life before moving here. Been here 9 1/2 years and I would like to play faster greens for awhile and let others "adjust", just to even things out.
