The putting pace trick
Since then, I developed for my own game the 10 pace putt system. You can develop this at your home course of favorite golf practice center. Establish a standard putt for yourself that rolls out 10 normal walking paces.

Make several putts with 5-6 balls then count out how far the ball actually rolls out at this given golf course. If it rolls out nine paces or eight paces the greens are slow to very slow. Should it roll out 11 or 12 paces the greens are quick. If it rolls out 10 paces the greens are very similar to your home golf course.
