If I wanna have two holes share the same green can I put each days pins in the exact same spot and will the game be able to differentiate the two? So let's say the 1st and the 10th have the same green I'm on the 1st hole will it know i got it in hole one and not think i got it in hole 10?

Maybe im not understanding your question but if you for example have hole 1 pin 12 yards on and 5 from the right and then have hold 10 pin sit exaclty on top of hole 1 then you will have a problem.
Normally a shared green is effectivly big enough for 2 greens and the pins are kept well apart.
Essentially what im saying is all pins for the pinset you are playing are visible no matter what hole you are playing

I think I am reading this as each pin location will be in the same location for holes 1 and 10. So you’ll play hole 1 to a certain location on the green, then come back and play hole 10 to the same pin essentially?
I doubt the game will let you do that. It will probably see one hole as being on top of the other. So if it thinks hole 1 is on top of hole 10, you’ll play hole 1 like normal, no problems, but then you won’t be able to finish hole 10 because it will think you put the ball in the cup for hole 1.
But try it out and let us know if it works. That’d be cool to be able to play the same pin from 2 different angles in the same round

It doesn't let you put two pins on top of each other as the game reads it as the other hole's pin. When doing a shared green you'll have to keep one holes pins to the left of the green and the other to the right or back and front.

If you really want to keep the green small, but you like the pin positions as they are set, just rotate the pins for each hole. That way you get the same pin placements on the green, without having to increase the size of the green or find new locations for four more pins.
Meaning, Pin 1/Hole 1 = Pin 2/Hole 2 - Pin 2/Hole 1 = Pin 3/Hole 2 - Pin 3/Hole 1 = Pin 4/Hole 2 - Pin 4/Hole 1 = Pin 1/Hole 2
Just mark your pin placements with the measuring tool (dead center), and you'll have an easier time of lining up the pins (using the "crook" of the flagstick and flag in the pin placement icon...if that makes sense)...
Just my thoughts...

Just my thoughts... ~Drnk Technically, this doesn't work. The game tries to tie the pin position to the nearest hole waypoint, so placing the pin from two different holes in the same spot will result in both pins being assigned to one of the two holes. If you try to put pin #2 from hole #2 onto the first green (absurd example used for demonstration) the game tries to tie that pin to the 1st hole. Same thing happens, even if the holes share a green. I once had to modify a pin position on a hole because it was closer to the fairway waypoint of an adjacent hole than it was to the hole waypoint of the hole I intended.

I have a shared green (8th & 10th) at Angus Bay International and a triple shared green (6th, 13th and 15th) at Quirk Park on TGC2 only. I had no issues at all with pins assigning to the wrong holes but what I did is treat each section of the shared green as seperate greens. So roughly half of the shared green at ABI was the for the 8th and the remainder was for the 10th.

My Wolf's Fang Golf Club is an 18 hole course set on a 9 hole layout. I placed the hole 1's first pin on one side then placed hole 10's first pin on the other side. I then used the measure tool to mark the border of each green by keeping an eye on the hole number at the top as I moved the tool. I tried to keep the pins from each set on opposite sides, so if hole 1 was front left then hole 10 would be back right. Doing this would cut down on the chances of the ball going into the wrong hole.
