Question by Eric: What is the highest theoretical golf green stimp rating?
Most public courses have a stimp rating of 4-8, while the PGA tour has a stimp around 8-10 (13 in the US Open this year!!)
I was wondering what the highest possible stimp rating can physically be for a standard dimpled golf ball on an infinitely flat surface?
I can assume the surface would be smooth and solid (probably not grass), but not so smooth that the ball would slip (ie always roll).
