CloPinz is the modern way to run Closest-to-the-Pin (CTP) contests on the golf course — live, accurate, and fully mobile. Whether you’re hosting a tournament or group, managing a golf course, or just playing with friends, 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 your on-course CTP contests. Why Golfers, Golf Courses, and Tournament Hosts Love CloPinz All-Mobile Experience Measure, record, and view results directly from your phone. Accurate Measurements No more guessing or stretching a long tape. CloPinz uses your phone’s camera and our proprietary smart-measurement system to determine the exact distance from the hole to the ball. Smart Detection CloPinz automatically detects the hole and the ball, then calculates the distance before you record your CTP attempt and post it to the leaderboard. Instant Leaderboards See who’s leading in real time — from the tee box, the green, the clubhouse, or even at home. Easy Sharing Quickly share your contest with others through a unique link or entry code. Perfect For • Golf courses looking to modernize on-course contests, reduce staff workload, and offer daily CTP contests for every golfer. • Small groups and tournament hosts who want fast setup, accurate scoring, and live leaderboards, without relying on the course or players to move hardware around. • Individual golfers who want to measure proximity to the pin, determine whether a shot falls within their own “gimme” range, or play games with their foursome. CloPinz Makes It Simple No hardware. No tape measures. No forgotten leaderboards. No wasted time. Whether your group calls it Closest to the Pin, CTP, KP, or Nearest to the Pin, CloPinz offers a faster, cleaner, and more intuitive way to run on-course competitions. Download CloPinz today and bring your Closest-to-Pin contests into the digital age.
