New Daily Pin Sheets

Just another small upgrade to the arsenal - we are rolling out new pin sheets starting today, April 1st.  No, it is not an April Fool’s Day joke, it is for real!  This system will give you much more accurate yardage as you hit your approach shots into the green.  The old 1,2,3 system only gave you a guesstimate, and depending on the size of the green and where the pin was located you would have to make a guess between 10-15 yards.  Sometimes, that is the difference of a club or two for most folks.  I know what you’re saying, “Most players don’t even know which direction they are going to hit it let alone need the exact yardage”.  Well that may be true, but at least with the exact yardage you can’t make an excuse now about that. You’ll have to get with Bob and Jim to fix the rest of your game!


Pin Sheet for Pecan - each hole has a depth of green with a plus/minus number in the center telling you distance from center of green
These new pin sheets will be printed daily based on what day of the month it is.  There are 31 completely different pin sheets, all with randomly selected hole placements based on depths of the green.  There is a very good mixture of front, back, and middle pin locations for each day.  These pin sheets will be located on your golf carts as you go out to play.  We will also get a stack of them to the starter house in case you lose one or didn’t receive one. 

For those of you that don’t have range/yardage finders this will give you very accurate information to help you select the right club.  All you need to do is check the nearest sprinkler head for the yardage you are from the center of the green and then add or subtract the day's hole location to get your exact yardage.  For those of you with yardage finders that may not need these sheets, we still have the flag sticks with the prisms inside so you can easily get your number by shooting the flagstick.  My goal is to make sure it wasn’t me that screwed up your shot!  We will continue to do everything we can to maximize your experience here at Sweetwater.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
