# How do I place the pin in PinFlag?

On the green, by hand: pan the map until the mark sits where today’s hole is cut and confirm it. Every distance on the hole, every target you price and every putt you place is measured to that pin, and the pins you set during a round are yours. Location, when it is available, places you faster; map placement works with no fix at all.

## 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.
