Pin Shot

A Pin Shot is an event in Mario Golf series. It can only happen when the player's golf ball hits the pin that resides in the hole. The player get no extra points, turns, or power-ups for performing this move. It is merely pointed out when the shot is made.

When the player makes a Pin Shot, the words "PIN SHOT" appear in big red letters on the screen. The announcer also says "Pin Shot" at this time. In the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Golf, an Ukiki slides down the pin and makes a sound if a Pin Shot is performed.
