Does PinFlag show yardages?

Yes: the distance to the pin you placed and to any target you put the aim on, alongside the strokes gained of that target with your lie and dispersion priced in, so the yardage becomes a priced decision rather than a number on its own. Once your launch monitor carries are imported, the plays like distance shows what the club has to cover.

PinFlag, in 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.
