Rules

Entry is free. Register for each week’s event in the Toptracer Range app, then play Closest to the Pin on any bay between 3pm and 9pm on the Monday.

Only shots played on the day, between 3pm and 9pm, count towards that week’s result.

If a week ends in a tie for first place, the winner is decided by a 10-shot play-off.

The weekly winners and the top 14 players on points go through to a 40-player semi-final. The top 20 from the semi-final play the grand final. Both are in April 2027.

If a player who has already qualified wins another week, they take that week’s prize. Their semi-final place is already secured.

Any semi-final places left over because someone won more than one week go to the next highest players on points, so the semi-final always has 40 players.

Each week has its own prize, announced that week and subject to stock. We’ll contact the winner to arrange collecting it from the shop. The grand final prize is a set of custom-fit irons worth up to £1,500.

Anyone can enter, of any age and any skill level. The only people who can’t enter are Express Golf staff.

This competition uses Toptracer Range technology but is organised and run by Express Golf.
