Pin Positions – Friday 8 July 2022
Dear Members,
As a TRIAL for the next month or so we will be publishing the daily pin positions. Our pin positions are changed every day and we are fortunate to now have the technology to provide this information directly to mobile phones. This trial does come with the following caveats:
- Pin positions are approximations and therefore not 100% accurate. You will see the positions are based on paces from a reference point so naturally there will be some variation.
- There is always the possibility of human error and therefore occasionally a pin may be in the wrong spot. I have trialled the system for a month or so and these are few and far between but do occasionally happen.
- It is possible the holes may not have been cut as per the daily plan (due to weather or other issues). I recommend checking the 9th and 18th pin positions before you start to ensure the daily pin positions look correct.
To utilise the daily pin positions, save the following web site to your phones home screen:
https://app.pogoturfpro.com/app/public/Mandurah%20Country%20Club/pin-sheet
On the day you are playing follow these steps:
- Open the website on the day you are playing.
- Check the legend at the bottom of the web page to ensure if shows the correct date.
- Check the 9th and 18th pin positions before you start to ensure the holes are as per the daily plan.
- Play amazing golf.
I have trialled the web site for a month or so and must however say having this information has not helped improve my scoring at all.
If you have any feedback about the system (positive or negative) please let me know. Based on the feedback we will decide whether to make this facility permanently available.
If you have an queries on the above information, please just let me know.
