Anybody else notice this?

I have since got around the problem by going to a Garmin golf watch. Any excuse for adding kit. But I thought the lack of reflectors was odd.
They used to have reflectors on all the pins on the Championship courses, then they suddenly all disappeared. I’ve asked several times at the pro shop, starter shakes, and ambassadors, but never got a reason why they disappeared. It’s most certainly not consistent with speeding up the pace of play?
