That also reminds me that I *think* that I can "feel" variations in the softness of greens as I tread. But, that also has not seemed to correlate with ball markness. My sophistication in matters of taste, though, has always landed well down in the lower percentiles.

Shall avoid any attempt to correlate green speed with hardness of surface or ball mark propensity, as judging the speed of greens shall apparently always lie beyond my capabilities.
