@Jakabok Botch That's what the putting green is for. The only green with more than one cup. I know they wanted options other than where I put the cups on tournament days. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
I really don't think they shrink the hole before you putt. It's been my experience that they shrink the hole just after you made the putt and the ball is on it's way to the hole. I've heard giggling and snickers numerous times....
I'm not "supposed" to say this..... but that's my job..... yeah I go around to each hole shrink each hole by 33% then I make it regular size after you get to the next tee box.....
I remember watching the PGA Tour and Someone damaged a hole like this, and they replaced it so quickly and they showed it on TV being replaced. It was so interesting to see.
Old school, had two halves to the cutter and you had to pound each half down with a heavy rubber mallet. 18 plus 5 on the practice green. Good right arm workout.
Did you wonder what they did with the divot they removed? It is kept and used to fill the old hole on the green. Greenskeepers change the placement of the holes on greens to make the course more challenging for the golfers.
