Green Speed and the Stimpmeter

As we are in AT&T Classic week a big question is: What are the greens stimping?
I guess my question back is: Do you know what stimping means?
A Stimpmeter is basically a ramp that allows for the consistent and fair measurement of green speed on a particular course. It was never intended to compare speed on different courses, thus it is incorrectly misused by many. A notch at the top of the Stimpmeter holds a golf ball in place until the instrument is lifted to a standard height. When released, the ball rolls down a groove on the Stimpmeter and onto the green. The distance the ball rolls, in feet, is the speed or "stimp" reading for the green. For accuracy, several readings are taken from different directions and averaged. The instrument was named after Edward Stimpson, who loved golf and wanted to create a measure of fairness.
So now that we are all on the same page as to what stimpmeter is and what the number means that is obtained, the greens this week are stimping 11.25'. This is the goal that the champions tour had and we are doing our best to maintain this speed for the remainder of the week.
To put this number in context for our members, during team play this year the greens were stimping 12'. For the member-guest last week they were at 11.75' and for the member-guest last June they were 11.5'.
