CloPinz is the modern way to run Closest-to-the-Pin (CTP) and Long Drive (LD) contests on the golf course — live, accurate, and fully mobile. CloPinz replaces tape measures, stakes, paper leaderboards, and manual scoring with an accurate, smartphone-based measurement and live leaderboard system. CloPinz is the better and easier way to run on-course CTP and LD contests.

So what does this mean, no more physical stakes and papers to fill out on the course.  NOW, at each Hittin Links Tournament everyone will know where they stand on each contest with the live scoring.  If you don’t know which holes are the CTP and LD, we include in the event info page on unknown, it’ll be at the check in station for the tournament and it will be printed on the scorecards.

How does it work?

• Just one player** from each group must download the app to use to measure the CTP and LD’s for the group. Please download before the tournament day so you don’t have to worry about it day of.  Hittin Links will send all players an invite code and link to use the app before the event day starts.
  • **For groups that have players playing for different tees you may need to have 2 players using the app, one from each tee box due to the LD measuring.
• On the app, it’s super easy to use.
  1. Swipe to the hole your playing for CTP or LD.
  2. If it’s a CTP hole, get up to the green and find the closest ball to the hole (must be on the green).
     • To measure the move your camera to find the hole and register the hole location with the app.
     • Then you move to the ball to measure the length of the CTP and select the ball location.
     • Enter the name of the player who’s ball was CTP for your group.
     • Leaderboard will update with the players name and how close they are.
  3. If its a LD hole, after all players have hit their tee shots you will need to measure from the tee box to the ball to determine LD. If your group has players hitting from different tee boxes then you must have 2 different players measuring using the app from each tee box.
     • NOTE: For LD to count for measurement, you must be in the fairway.
     • To measure the move from the location of the tee box and start measurement.
     • Then you move the move all the way to the location of the furthest drive to measure distance.
     • Enter the name of the player who’s ball was LD for your group.
     • Leaderboard will update with the players name and how close they are.

Unless specified by Tour management, CTP and LD contest winners will ONLY be declared based on results on the app.  So if your group doesn’t use the app or tries to measure manually, it will not be counted.

PLEASE NOTE this comes at no additional costs to players.  The Tour is purchasing the app to use for all events in an effort to make tracking CTP and LD easier for all parties.
