Difficult pin placements are fine. I have, however, seen some pin placements that are essentially inaccessible. For example, on the slope at #1 at Volusia. On one particular day, a putt from below the hole either went in or rolled back 15 feet. This can lead to delays as people 4 and 5 putt and thus cause backups. I have seen a similar situation on #9 on Sweetgum.
