Using PinCollect
To provide accurate proximity to the hole and putting statistics we ask that you press a button to locate the pin for us, by pressing a button with the device over the hole we can accurately establish where the pin was located for that round.
We do ask that you press the number button that corresponds to the amount of times you used your putter on that hole (on or off the green). For example, if your ball is on the fringe and you take one stroke with your putter, then take one stroke with your putter on the green to finish the hole this should be pressed as 2 putts. When you upload your round our software separates putts on the green in to your Putting stats and putts off the green in to Short Game to give you accurate data.
