Golf pros love it. Golf course superintendents hate it. What is it?
A little device known as the Stimpmeter.
It was developed back in 1935 by an amateur golfer from Massachusetts, Edward Stimpson.
The USGA first used the instrument in 1976 at the U.S. Open, and it was made available to golf course superintendents in 1978. That is the key point. The device was made for use by golf course superintendents, not golf pros.
