Pin Placement/Cup Changing

As putting green speeds have increased over the years, so have the debates of the "fairness" of hole locations.  Golf courses periodically move hole locations on putting greens to spread out wear, in the hope of achieving a more uniform putting surface.  In a tournament situation, hole locations are changed to provide a different challenge to players in the tournament. 
During a typical week at Galen Hall, cups will be changed 2-5 times per week depending on volume of play.  If a tournament is scheduled, we will change hole locations after each round of the tournament.  During the golf season hole locations may change 140 -180 times per year.
When multiplied by eighteen holes, there will be over 3,000 different hole locations used.
We WILL make mistakes.
Under normal play, we set the golf course up to coincide with provided weather conditions.  We try to keep traffic away from dry spots, and during rainy periods we try to keep pins away from wet (low) spots.
During tournament conditions, we try to provide varying degrees of challenge based on history, and the type of tournament being played.
Holes will never be changed for the sake of providing a different "look" to every player on a daily basis.  I have worked at numerous golf clubs, and have never seen this practice used.
When there is a pin that you believe to be unfair, please notify me or the pro shop of the specific hole and date.  Without specifics, no remedy can be made.
It will always be my goal to provide challenging, but fair hole locations to our members .  I would also remind our players that Galen Hall's total green surface area is about half as compared to previous clubs' that I have maintained, which essentially provides half of the available hole locations as most courses have.
Our greens are 100 years old, and are very small and undulating by today's standards, but these challenging targets, and undulations are in my opinion, the backbone of this golf course.
