the old fashioned way:
def peoria(holes):
import random
random.shuffle(holes)
result = []
checklist = []
used = []
for hole in holes:
if len(checklist) == 3:
break
if hole[1] not in checklist:
result.append(hole)
checklist.append(hole[1])
used.append(hole)
available = set(holes) - set(used)
result.extend(list(available)[:3])
return result
