That means out of the 18 elements from the list, we need 6 random
elements but with one constraint.

random.choice([3,4,5]) may also possibly generate [3,3,4,3,4,3]
(http://docs.python.org/library/random.html#random.choice), which
violates our constraint. We need at least 1 occurrence of all the
three elements.

You are getting it wrong. e.g there is no hole (4,5) in the sample data.
Every hole has a fixed par type and we can't randomly associate one
hole with a par type (as above).
