Discussion Points

- Supply distance measuring devices (tape measure) on flag or near to green for more accurate measurement
- The marker will be the most trusted source of accuracy of NearPins if no measuring device available
- No hardware is required to record name near greens
- All entries by players instantly update to Prizes
- Only one player in group is required to add a name to NearPins
