That happened on the 21st of November 2002. It was asserted by one famous player that the greens were stimping 17 that day. Victoria had been determined to have slick greens, worrying that their course wouldn't be long enough to challenge the pros. They may have crossed the line on speed but the thing that made the course unplayable, rather than merely very difficult, was the pin placement on the 3rd hole. Putts that missed the hole (at the back left of that green) would horse-shoe back down to where they had been putted from... over and over and over.
A similar thing happened at the 1987 Australian Open (at Royal Melbourne). Again the greens were slick, but what made the course unplayable was a particularly unwise pin placement (on the 1st hole of RME). And again one day's play had to be abandoned.
On each occasion there was an uproar. During the 2002 incident, Greg Normal demanded that "somebody's head should roll". It's easy to imagine the terror among officials of a similar thing happening again, particularly given Tiger's presence and the way this tournament's been hyped. Still, it was only a week ago that the local tour's tournament director, Andrew Langford Jones, spoke publicly about how exciting it was going to be seeing KH presented in the way of decades past, f+f. Reminds me of that saying, "a week's a long time in politics".
