Default An Actual Roller?

But if they can 3D print a rocket, maybe they can make a roller as well. I'm playing here Sunday , so we'll see if there is any improvement to greens that generally run about 6.5 on the stimpmeter. Of course, if they get them up to 9, there will be complaints that the greens are "too fast"
Are you sure it was an actual roller? I can't believe the Villages golf crew would have one let alone use it. Are you sure you didn't start early, after all, it has to be after 5 someplace. A Real roller. Wow.
