Why are holes changed on a golf cousre?
Holes are moved with a hole cutter. It's a metal cylinder that's the diameter of the hole, usually with a handle and a place to step on it, so it can be inserted without bending over. They stick it in the ground where they want the new hole to be, then take the dirt over and fill up the old hole. There's a bit of a mark where the plug was inserted, but if done carefully it's almost unnoticeable, and the grass grows over the seam pretty quickly.
It would mess up the greens if they didn't move the hole every day. The amount of traffic near the hole leaves its mark on the grass, both in direct damage to the grass and in soil compression. The edge of the hole also gets worn with use, which can cause more putts to lip out than when it's new and sharp.

Do PGA players pay for golf clubs?
Clubs such as drivers and wood may be replaced only one a season or so, because you can build up a feel with a certain wood that you like and want to keep.
