Who makes it, where it is, what it is called and how it is priced.


**What is PinFlag?** PinFlag is the iPhone golf app that shows live predictive strokes gained on the hole you are playing: pick any target and see the number before you swing, with your own dispersion drawn on the hole. It imports launch monitor data, logs shots in two taps, and breaks every round down shot by shot on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines.

**Who makes PinFlag?** PinFlag Analytics LLC, an independent company in Houston, Texas, builds PinFlag for golfers who want the number and for the coaches and facilities who develop them. Every figure the company publishes is computed on Mark Broadie’s published baselines, the same ones the app prices your shots with, and the methodology page prints the arithmetic.

**Is PinFlag accurate and legitimate?** Yes. PinFlag Analytics LLC is an independent company in Houston, Texas, and every number in the app is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, the framework professional golf uses.

**What is Score Killers in PinFlag?** The Insights card that totals the shots that cost whole strokes: three-putts, two-chips, penalties and double bogeys, per round and across the season. It is the fastest way to see which mistake decides your score, because each of those costs a full stroke on its own.

**What are benchmark lenses in PinFlag?** Alternative expected strokes tables for a chosen scoring level: Tour, Scratch or a handicap level, labeled Modeled in the app. Switch the lens and every logged shot is repriced against that table, so gains and losses read on your own scale while the shots themselves stay exactly as recorded.

**How do I import Trackman data into PinFlag?** Export the session from Trackman and open it in PinFlag’s launch monitor import. Trackman, Garmin and Rapsodo files import directly; any other monitor imports through a mapped CSV where you pick the club and carry columns and set the units. The session becomes a per-club Measured pattern that prices every target on the course.

**How does a student join a coach in PinFlag?** The coach shares a code from their account, the student enters it in the app, and from then on the student’s rounds are measured on the roster’s baseline and visible to the coach, with the student keeping their own history. The Coach plan covers the coach plus up to ten students.

**What do golfers use PinFlag for?** Three things. The number before the swing, so the flag, the fat side and the lay up are priced on their own dispersion before they commit; a round logged in two taps that scores itself; and a breakdown afterwards that names where the strokes went, from Score Killers to proximity by band and club. Launch monitor owners use it to carry their range carries onto the course, and coaches use it to put a roster on one baseline.

**What does PinFlag stand for?** PinFlag, one word, is the iPhone golf app made by PinFlag Analytics LLC in Houston, Texas, named for the pin and the flag: the target every shot in it is measured to.
