| Question: | "Some members of my Green Committee feel that we should change hole locations on our greens on a daily basis. We have not done this in the past because we receive a low number of golf rounds during the week. Should we be changing holes every day? Any thoughts will be appreciated." |

| Answer/Response: | "The number of times hole locations are changed each week on a given golf course varies, the principal consideration being the level of traffic the greens receive. For daily play, the main purpose for changing the hole is to distribute traffic over the entire surface of the green to prevent wear damage. Additionally, holes should be changed if they are damaged. After heavy play days, the holes should be changed to prevent wear to specific areas on the greens. Consider that if you change holes every day from May 1 to September 30, you will have approximately 150 old holes that will need to heal. This can lead to more scalped, unsightly plugs and possible effects on putting quality. Lightly played courses generally change holes on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, while heavily played courses usually change hole locations daily, depending on the size of the greens and other variables." |
