near the pin Explanation: My guess would be that this means nobody got near the pin. Or perhaps nobody got onto the green. Another interpretation might be that none of the group concerned got closest to the pin out of all of those that were playing. Just a guess though. HTH ニアピン near pin〈和製英語〉〔【標準英語】closest to pin〕 |

"closest to the pin contest" or "KP" Explanation: This is a contest that happens during golf tournaments where the person who gets the closest to the pin on a tee shot wins a prize. I don't think it's possible for "no one" to win this, so I imagine in your document the 全員 is referring to a subset of people within the tournament? Example sentence(s):
