How long does it take to log a round in PinFlag?
About as long as keeping a scorecard, because each shot is two taps: the target before you swing and the finish after it, with the club and lie confirmed in one sheet. Nothing is typed, nothing is worn or charged, it works with no signal, and any tap can be undone, so a round of 90 shots is logged without slowing the group.

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.
