Pin Position

The daily placement of the hole on the putting green, strategically selected by course maintenance staff to distribute wear, create varying challenges, and optimize playing conditions. Pin positions significantly affect approach shot strategy, green reading, and scoring opportunities. Championship tournaments often feature challenging pin positions that test professional skills, while regular play may use more accessible positions. Understanding pin position impacts helps golfers make better target selections and adjust their approach strategies. Pin sheets or GPS systems often provide pin position information to help golfers plan their approach shots effectively.
