  SO ITS TRUE

  A SAD LOSS INDEED

  Hopefully more than 1 pin placement will be available on Erin Hills to replace the 2 we have just lost at Oakmont.

  Hi,

  checked my awards and a lot of those I got long time ago are gone...  (e.g. Double Eagle etc.)

  Not an issue which influences my game, but still annoying.

  Based on the anger flying around here after the disappearance of Oakmont, I know where it's likely to be shortly.

  What will happen now with a clubs "saved custom courses" that have an Oakmont hole on them? Will they have to be edited before they can be republished and go live again?
