I was waiting to see if someone else on TOTV was going to post comments
and am curious what people feel about it. Personally I am not in favor of
it. I am also wondering how it will work. The article stated it is more of an
experiment and will be rotated around the executive courses and they will
cut two holes on the greens - one a regulation hole and one a 6 inch hole.
You play the hole you want to play.
I guess I'm thick but how can you have two holes? What if I want to play
the regulation hole and the 6 inch hole is in my line?
Thoughts anyone?
The other whole would be treated as ground under repair and as such you would be entitled to relief if it is between your ball and the hole when your ball lies on the putting green.
