Only about 60 percent of participants were able to complete their third round in the NCAA Division III Women’s Golf Championship due to an extremely frustrating yet obectively funny situation with the 308-yard, par-4 sixth at Mission Inn and Resort’s El Campeon Course in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida...

More context per the Golf Channel...

quote:
The NCAA is responsible for placing the pins each round, not the course.

Also, this is the eighth time that this championship has been contested at Mission Inn.
“They should’ve known not to put [the hole] there,” said one coach, who added that there were also four questionable hole locations in Tuesday’s first round. “They just said they were sorry and they felt bad.”

Golfstat's live scoring page, which has since erased the Round 3 stats, showed No. 6 as playing more than a shot-and-a-half over par, by far the toughest on the golf course, with 29 others (triple bogeys or worse) and, somehow, five birdies.

"I saw two of the birdies," added the same coach. "One would've gone 25 yards off the green if it didn't go in."

Unplayable hole? .... hell you get two chances to make the putt, going towards the hole and coming back.

Hopefully this golf course financially gets hit from this with less people going to golf. That's lazy, unintelligent course management.

Carl Spackler spent too much time studying manganese and chinch bugs and not enough on hole locations.

Why do they all putt with the flag still in the hole?

cajunmud•12 months

Is this Putt-Putt golf? Did they already get by the windmill?

CLane33•12 months

It's definitely a challenging hole location, but I wouldn't consider it unplayable.

Its literally the definition of unplayable any missed putt finished 10 feet from the hole if it was missed. Not to mention the tournament was cancelled because the hole was indeed deemed unplayable.
