alosso: This ain't new - it has been like that from "day one".
Agreed it is not new. However it used to work and stopped working after an update.
Back when the feature was introduced. for example for 18 holes (obviously on a course with multiple pins positions)
if "Hard" was selected, 12 holes at random would get the "hard" pin position and 6 holes at random would get the "easy" pin position.
if "Easy" was selected, 6 holes at random would get the "hard" pin position and 12 holes at random would get the "easy" pin position.
Medium would be 9 easy and 9 hard holes chosen at random.
On some holes it was debatable which pin positions were easy or hard, but on Merion several of the holes it is quite obvious.
