3) More variety in pin placements, even the courses with 2 pins seem to use the same pins 95% of the time.
Yep good point. I put up a comment on pin placements in the product suggestion section a while ago which Icon replied to saying he'd mention it internally. We should be able to automatically choose in practice mode:
1) Easiest pins
2) Hardest pins
This should give all of the perceived easier pin locations or harder pin locations rather a hybrid mash-up as it currently is. I've seen a "easy" pins choice come out with a greater proportion of harder pins which is just plain wrong.
You should also be able to select:
1) Old pins
2) New pins
This means that when a new set of pins is released for a course, they can be play tested through without entering a WGT competition to do so. I can remember having to use about 15 full practice rounds at Oakmont to experience each of the second set of pins when they were released.
