Hello from the neighborhood!

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Pin Sheet.

Our new monthly newsletter aimed to help you stay up to speed on the progress we're making growing the neighborhood, the fun we're having along the way, and a chance for you to be part of the fun too.
โ
Each month we'll look to cover brief and hopefully interesting callouts across 4 primary sections:
โ
Launch Monitor - Clubs recently launched or launching soon.
Fore Please! - Shoutouts and updates covering club milestones.
AoA - Angles to attack game improvement with a simulator.
Club Face Data - Club Pro and Member profiles
โ
Ever any questions along the way, never hesitate to reach out... we're always lookin' for new neighbors!

If you, someone you know, or maybe a group of friends are interested in putting up the sim and the space, we'll support all other aspects of turning it into a fun and laid back golf hang for a small group nearby. From insurance coordination, to marketing. Vetting members (with a background check), to onboarding. Booking and duest management to tech support. And most fun of all - the games and community management too.

Neighborhood Census Complete ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ |
|

A fun idea, that started with 10 guys coming and going out of a crummy garage (above), is now officially a community of 130 strong and growing. Spanning different spaces, different simulators, different cities, and different states too.
Numbers often arbitrary. Celebrations never are. We crossed the century mark a couple months back and it took us a year to get there. 2 months later we're now north of 130, with new clubs slated to start up this month.
Fun to have all kinds of momentum and fun to have all kinds of support too!
If interested in moving in with us, be sure to click below and let us know.

A ton of fun with our first ever cross-club Member Guest this summer.
Congrats to the crews playing out of No. 8 Blue's Bay on the south side of Atlanta. The club managed to take home both the gross and net titles!
Excited for what we have in store this fall and winter as we gear up for qualifiers from each club to compete in our first national championship.
Still time to sign up if you have a club near you, and if not, still time to start a club in your neighborhood too!

๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฃAway @ No. 5! ๐ช
|
|
Don't know that this was our first 300 yard carry at a club, but do know it was our first officially documented, making it all the more fun!
No. 5 is a backyard club in Durham running a Bushnell Launch Pro and GSPro.
Small at a glance from the outside, the 12'x15' space with 9' celings is plenty big for our member Matt (6 feet tall) to swing driver as hard as he wants.
...And plenty straight too! ๐

AoA...
Angles to attack your game improvement with simulator help
|
|
|
Distance Control: How well do you know your distances? ๐คMaybe more important, how well do you know your CARRY DISTANCES?
Sim software varies but each has tools to make club gapping easy.
Start using a sim and you'll likely find yourself starting to primarily speak carry distance.
Then you may find yourself with more greens in reg... an a few more birdie putts per round too.

Meet a Club Pro, and a Member Too!

Dan Miller: Club Pro, No. 2 |
|
|
Our first ever Club Pro, Dan is the father of 2 little kids, a principle in a development company in Raleigh, and now a Club Pro with No. 2 running out of the space over his garage out back.
Q: What's surprised you the most?
A: I don't know if anything has surprised me. I was first, so the guinea pig. Any snags have been really minor. Ultimately, I honestly couldn't imaging it going much better.
Q: What's been most fun so far?
A: Easy. The members. Everyone is great. They really make it work.
Q: Any recommendations for other potential Club Pros?
A: Just do it. Specially if you have space that works. I was going to get a sim anyway and this just seemed fun. It's been a lot of fun.
Q: Best part of having your own sim is...
A: Convenience. My wife and I get to use it as much as we want even with the members and obviously nice that it's out the back door.

Barb Dickinson: Member, No. 5 |
|
|
A golf nut, Mike literally lives 20 seconds away making him a "neighbor" on multiple fronts!
Q: How did you hear about us?
A: The yard sign I saw to start. Then a flyer left at my door. I golf a ton and figured I had to check it out, it just sounded so convenient.
Q: What do you like most about the club?
A: The data. I'm a data guy, both professionally and in golf. I love to know my numbers. I could only get access to data before if I was in a lesson. This just makes it efficient to get... it's really easy.
Q: Has your membership helped your "real golf" game?
A: Yeah, being able to get rounds in. I know it's virtual and it's not the same thing, but from a mental perspective it's really close. I've found my playing here has helped me hold rounds together outside too.
