Closest to the Pin, every day
One par 3 a day from Daily9 (Daily 9). Same pin, same wind for everyone. Five tee shots, and your closest one counts. How close can you get?
Play today’s par 3 →How it works
- One hole a day: a par 3 from a real-world-inspired course, with a new one at midnight US Central time.
- Five tee shots: every shot starts from the tee. Your closest ball at rest counts.
- Measured where it stops: in feet and inches, green or not. Holed is 0 ft; water or out of bounds is a miss.
- Its own leaderboard: see who got closest today, with golf-style ties.
A real tee shot, not a guess
Pick your club, lock your aim, set your power and time the strike. The wind pushes the ball, slopes kick it, and spin decides whether it stops or runs out. Every shot is checked on our server, so the board is fair: everyone faced the same pin and the same wind.
