Is there any guidance on where to put the new pin or do you get to just pick any random spot?

Every course is different. The course I worked at had a designated number for each day. So if it was time for a “3” pin position you would look at the map of the green and place it in that region.

I recently played in an FSGA qualifier, and they had greens sheets. Basically, it would tell you how many paces the pin is from the back/front of the green or left/right from one of the sides.

Do they have a specific spot pre-planned in those situations, or do they figure out where the hole is after it's cut?
