Comparing my pin placements at Chambers Bay to what the USGA set up went a long ways to show that we don't tuck pins in TGC nearly as much as they do in real life on the pro tours. I would definitely support tucked pins more than pins on slopes. I've played some sloped pins in real life and it's always frustrating, especially when you are mediocre at golf at best.

In regards to being easier to chip-in then putt, Maybe HB need to a) make chipping more difficult and/or b) the percentages more variable when chipping out of the heavy rough, for example (40%-80%) maybe one for the hb forums suggestion box.

It's really the flop shot that should be changed, not the chipping. I think the % on flops should be something like 80-125%. An easy fix and makes the game far more realistic.

No doubt the flop shot is too easy but maybe the chipping out of the heavy rough should be harder if people are preferring to chip from the rough instead of putt from middle of the green.

Well, even in real life I think there are many times where a 5yrd chip in the rough is preferable to a 60 foot putt, especially on tough greens. However, there are no circumstances I can imagine where a guy would prefer a 21 yard flop over the aforementioned 60 footer.
All the time in this game if I catch the wrong side of a slope on a big green I'm begging for it get into the fringe/rough.

I think waiting/hoping for mechanics to change is dangerous... because you have no idea if they will. So you have to kind of design around what you have.

Tucked pins tend to leave easy chips. I'm starting to try to work on making one side of the green run off away from the hole, but still leaving a bit of green to work with around the hole. This in effect "tucks" the pin but still leaves a relatively difficult putt or chip, while trying to reward a close shot. With that in mind though, it is important to make sure that the ball can definitely stop near the pin.

Bump, somewhere in the neighbor hood of 2-1 in favor of tucked, keep it coming
