What does closest to the pin mean?

"Closest to the pin" is a Golf contest format where players aim to hit their ball as close as possible to the hole on a designated par-3 hole. After all players have taken their shots, the one whose ball is closest to the pin (flagstick) is declared the winner. This contest is often used in tournaments or charity events to add excitement and competitiveness. It emphasizes precision and skill in short-range shots.
