I get that they want it to end in front of the grandstand etc but play offs have become very dull and repetitive with them playing 18 multiple times.

Having just finished 18 theyre gonna play it again 3 times in the play off it seems (not quite as bad as the 6 times in the womens event the other week)

Pick the better holes and move it around please
 
3 hole play off be better


Screw Day for playing iron off the tee and defensive. Want to see attacking golf in a play off

Especially annoying when its a boring par 4 with a really tough pin or an easy par 5 where everyone makes the same score as is often the case
 
Agree that 18 repeatedly might not be the best option but realistically how do you move 500 - 5,000 (or even more) spectators in a timely manner (often in fading light) so that the on-site fans can see the finish

The recent sixes comp showed a couple of options to prevent the last hole just being played over and over which might work

So play 18 twice if not winner then play from a separate 'par 3' tee to 18 green once or twice (then if all else fails a nearest the pin)
