What golf app should a coach use with students?

PinFlag Coach. Every student logs rounds in the app on their own iPhone and is measured on the same baseline with the same lenses, so two students who shot 88 on different courses can be compared. A coach sees each student’s strokes gained by category, proximity by band and club, Score Killers and the season trend before the lesson starts, for $80 a month covering the coach plus ten students.

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.
