⛳️ 3rd round of Div. 3 women's golf CANCELLED due to unplayable hole location

The article below says this is the Par 4 6th 308 yards. It was playing 1.5 strokes over par for those who’d finished it.

Several players just miss and the ball comes right back to them.

Ridiculous. Stop ball at the hole with their putter and knock it in. Take the penalty Bristlecone May 2023 #5

Ridiculously fast. My step father and I just started giving each other everything within 5-6 feet. We’d been bent over 1 footers all afternoon if we hadn’t. Don’t remember the name of the course though.

...about 15 years ago.
Skinned the greens to about a 13, the put the hole on a slope on the par 3 17th. For championship & A flight players, it's 170 yards (147 yards from white tees) over water AND a huge bunker. So, it's already a tough par 3.
There were people 6 & 7 putting. On in two, take a 9. Hit green off green, take a 7.
I got lucky in that my 3rd putt went by the hole but caught enough of the hole to go in as it was coming back toward me.
One guy in A flight hit one 12' right & above the hole. Hit a putt that nearly stopped just left of the hole, then took off.
His first putt was 12'. His second putt was 35'.
They were just going to give everyone a par, but the 3 of us who legitimately made 4 pitched a fit.
So, they decided to give a max score of 5.
But, that hole location was IDIOTIC. Since nothing below the hole was less than 8 to 9 paces, it was sheer luck for a club player to one putt.
The next day they put the pin in a benign location and didn't cut the green that morning.
The game is hard enough. The greenskeeper playing mean tricks is just wrong.
