The days pin placement is done in the mornings by maintenance, most of which have no clue as to USGA rules, regs or guidelines. The only thing that can be done is when pin placements are that bad, talk to an ambassador. If there are complaints, we carry balls to check the rolls, and if there is a problem we call the shop and they try to get maintenance to fix the placement. This is another job that very few realize the ambassadors do.
