Time element on the greens

[vj]

A ten foot level putt here at Old Waverly takes an average of 4.5 seconds to get to the hole with a speed the ball will go in. Inside the teaching center (where the stint roles a thirteen) it takes almost exactly 4.0 seconds.

A ten foot downhill putt (Old Waverly, where the greens are basically a nine) it takes nearly 6.0 seconds for the putt to go in.

A ten foot uphill putt takes just under 4.0 to go in.

UPHILL PUTTS ARE MADE MORE OFTEN BECAUSE THE BALL IS ON THE GREEN LESS TIME. JUST WATCH AN AUTOMOBILE RACE, THE CAR ON THE TRACK FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN START AND FINISH (ASSUMING THEY FINISH) WILL WIN THE RACE (BARRING ANY TIME PENALTIES) AND THE less THAT CAR'S CHANCE OF HAVING A WRECK.
