I think that the little indicator flag work just fine in 99% of the cases. The problem I see is that some of the employees are not properly trained on where to put them or simply do not care about doing their job correctly. The same goes for cups that are sunk to the proper depth and dirt in the bottom of the cup so that flagstick can't be fully inserted.

But with the generally horrendous condition of most of these courses, these are small things.

I played Amberwood last week and hit 8 out of nine greens and could not make a putt. They might as well have asphalt instead of greens.
