# Does PinFlag count a par 3 tee shot as an approach? > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/approach-play/does-pinflag-count-a-par-3-tee-shot-as-an-approach Yes, as the published method does: a par 3 tee shot is an approach, priced from the tee table by the hole’s length and filed under approach with its proximity. Only par 4 and par 5 tee shots count as off the tee. Topic: Approach play in PinFlag, https://pinflag.io/answers/approach-play ## Plain facts - PinFlag is an iPhone app; the course maps and every shot live on your phone, so it works anywhere on the course. - PinFlag is launching on the App Store; the download page takes an email and tells you the day it is live. - Every number is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site. - PinFlag prices the target you choose, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course map; the decision stays yours, with the arithmetic done. - Every number is labeled Measured (your own data) or Estimated (a benchmark standing in), and the two are never blended. - Pins you set during a round are yours, and every round exports as CSV or JSON on request.
