JK/Sean:
I have not seen that ever occur on 16 Augusta - that is, a putt go up the top, stop, and then roll back just due to gravity. If that does occur, then that is what I am talking about. But I sincerely doubt they'd allow that kind of goofy-golf at the Masters, given it involves next to no skill and would cause rounds to take even longer than they already do. Remember I am talking about a putt that will NEVER stop anywhere near the hole. Yes, I have seen the back pins they tend to use on days other than Sunday.
And JK, you missed all of the "fun" of the old 11 green, being so laser-focused and self-centered.
As for me, oh yes, the least of my problems were showing you that green - I was far too worried about sending you into depression kicking your ass so badly, your two wonderful birdies being surrounded by a card filled with more X's than a Mulder/Scully TV show.
I will say this though: once again you miss the point re lack of pin positions. It's really not that one gets bored playing the same one over and over again - as you saw, one could never really be bored playing 11 Pasa no matter where the pin is - it's more that so much of the green gets wasted, and especially for those who embrace absurdity, well, it would be impossible not to look at the 4/5 of the green that is never used and wish it could be. How can a green be all that fun when 4/5 of it is never used? When all putts are necessarily flat?
So JK, how about answering my question this time: wouldn't you enjoy playing to a back pin at #11 Pasa?
As it was, you really couldn't. They nearly never put it there, for reasons already stated.
As it is now, well... just wait till you see the pin John V can give the US Open qualifiers.
