Pin High

A golf shot that finishes at the same distance from the tee as the hole location but to one side, indicating good distance control but directional inaccuracy. Being pin high demonstrates proper club selection and distance judgment while highlighting the need for improved accuracy or green reading. This term is commonly used to describe approach shots that achieve correct distance but miss laterally due to wind, slope, or execution errors. Pin high shots often provide relatively straightforward putting opportunities and indicate solid fundamentals in distance control and club selection.
