Pin sheets (also called hole location sheets or flagstick charts) show each hole's green with the pin position marked as a distance from the front and a distance from the left or right edge of the green. Format: a diagram of the green shape with a dot showing the pin location, plus measurements (e.g., 12 from front, 7 from right means the pin is 12 yards from the front of the green and 7 yards from the right side). Using pin sheets: look at the distance to the pin position, not just the yardage to the center. A front-left pin on a 30-yard-deep green means the real yardage to the flag is 12 yards less than center distance. Professional caddies use pin sheets constantly — they know exact pin positions at all times. GOATY approach accuracy tracking pairs with pin sheet data for precision club selection.
