amb1923: I have some hazy memory from way back when I first joined (in 2010) that when they were photographing courses, they would shoot all the pictures for two different pin locations when they were on-site.
I recall seeing what I thought was a photo of lots of cones and markings on a green; I thought it was when they were photographing Royal St Georges. I searched the forum and found this:

Watch the video that Andyson linked to in his post on page 1. The video is Chad Nelson explaining how, amongst other things, they go around photographing courses. It was indeed at RSG. And at around 4 minutes you can see a green in the backgruond with lots of cones, flags, golf balls, and other markings, and a photographer taking photos from certain places.
On page 2 there is a post from Icon:

There will be new pins for both CCC and RSG. I have seen & played some.
Not all are done and it will take a while and I do not have a time frame for it.

So I wonder what happened to the new set of pins for RSG???
