Explaining MLSN and assessing ball roll on putting greens, with Carl Schimenti

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Carl Schimenti from Cornell University joined me to discuss intro to #MLSN explanations vs. using MLSN the way it is designed to be used. We also talked a lot about ball roll assessment using the #BobbleTest, and the USGA GS3 ball, and other methods.
