In golf, “pin high” refers to the position of a golfer’s ball relative to the hole on the green. If a golfer’s ball is “pin high,” it means that the ball is at the same level as the hole, either on the same level or on the same vertical plane. This means that if the golfer makes a putt, the ball will go directly into the hole. If a golfer’s ball is “above the pin” or “below the pin,” it means that the ball is not at the same level as the hole. A ball that’s “above the pin” will require more force to get in the hole and a ball that’s “below the pin” will require less force.
Being “pin high” is usually considered a good thing because it makes the putt much easier. A golfer can easily judge the distance and speed of the putt because the ball is on the same level with the hole. Being above or below the hole can make the putt more challenging.
