Here is a sentence from a golf app's description:
You may be find going for the pin tempting, but sometimes it’s best to
take the slow route.
My Google search led me to one meaning (wrestle) of the said phrase. However, I am not sure if it fits the context here.

In the context of golf, the "pin" is the flag that marks the hole. Going for the pin is aiming to get your ball onto the green and next to the pin in one hit.
It sometimes may be better to take two or three hits to get your ball onto the green (because you are more likely for your ball not to roll off the green. You are less likely to hit a bunker). It may be better not to go for the pin, but to take the slow route
