A laughing clown and a quick-chomp gator would’ve been more fair than what took place at the Iowa Girls 3A State Golf Tournament at the River Valley Golf Course in Adel.
Jake Brend was covering the tournament for SCTV and captured video of arguably the most unfair pin in golf.
Today at the Girls 3A State Golf Tournament at The River Valley Golf Course in Adel, the average score on hole 18 was a quadruple bogey.

No, the golfers weren't bad, but this had to have been the most unfair pin placement I've ever seen. This slope gave the athletes no chance. pic.twitter.com/F7OyqIjbkO
The frustration is clear as player after player watches her ball roll down the slope and off the front of the green.
It appears Brend spent a good chunk of time watching these competitors battle this slope, and he took a guess as to just how much damage this pin placement did to their scorecards.
Not sure if you can tell from this picture, but this is without a doubt the most difficult pin placement I’ve seen in my life of playing and watching golf.

I’ve seen numerous 10 putts and I would guess that the average score is at a sextuple bogey (+6). #iahsgolf pic.twitter.com/rSXnxtSdsr
At that point one might be better off to take a page out of Phil Mickelson’s book and take the penalty for knocking the ball in while it’s moving.
