  So maybe this will mean we don't have to hit our approach into the bunker on #9 so we can make par??? Awesome!!!!!

  all the courses need new pins, they should be released with at least 3 pin positions

  I know this is usually reserved for this thread, but I figured this deserves a topic of its own. Yes, we are working on the new flag  locations. Please don't ask when, but as soon as I have reliable timeline, I will let you guys know.

  I just wanted to let you know since, like me, if you really disliked the locations on 1, 9, 18, some relieve is coming. Or maybe the evil pinmaster found even harder locations???

  Happy hitting,

  Woot!  Woot!  hurrah!!  9 is an "impossible" location, but you know that already :-)

  New pins at Oakmont will almost turn it into a new course. Is there any potential for some new pins at Kiawah?

   

  and Bethpage and don't forget St.Andy's.

  While I completely agree that it would be wonderful for all courses to have some new pin locations, I feel that Oak and Kia are more desperate due to them only having 1 set of pins.

  I feel that, ideally, each course could/should have 4 sets of pin locations so that a "proper" 4 round tourney can be played. That would be the best option, but also probably the hardest to implement.

  2 Pins on each course would be a fantastic start. 3 or 4 would be ideal but you have to start somewhere.
