Thurston,

There is no rule about hole placement but i think that I remember there used to be a recommendation in the back of rule book about something like 9 feet minimum from the edge. I don't believe that there was ever anything written about placement on slopes. Common sense should prevail. No putt should ever come back to your feet when reaching or passing the hole or it becomes carnival golf. I think that the USGA themselves were embarrassed at the Open at Olympic Club when this happened to Payne Stewart and others.

I have occasionally experienced the same pin placements you describe and it usually can be attributed to the greens keeper having a bad night or waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

Regards,

Ken
