Golfer Golf Watch
Monday, April 11th, 2011Why are there extra holes at the golf greens?
I watched the British Open this weekend. I can't help but to notice that on the back or side edge of the greens are extra holes.
I wonder what is the purpose of these extra holes? I know they change the pin placement every round of the tournament. Are these extra holes used in the changes or what? Only a golf pro will know this.
Please no funny jokes about the practice green, And yes I'm a golfer. Thanks. LJK.
What you may be mistaking for holes are the covers which hide the greens sprinkler system. Where ever you see one of these covers you will find a recessed sprinkler head.
