Priceless!


Too good not to share...a superintendent posted this on a Facebook superintendent forum. A golfer taped this to the door of the Golf Shop on the way out. Haha...I am certain some of our members feel this way at times! While pins should always be fair, when you move them 7 days a week, they can't always be in the best spots.  However, an area that is 2% slope or less within 10' of the pin is considered fair.  Incidentally, the USGA doesn't say anything about setting pins...let alone a "USGA manual."  There is no reference in the rules of golf to how close to the collar a pin can be!  Typically, I've always been trained to keep them at least a flagstick length from the edge of the green. This is pushing it too, in my opinion.
