# Which golf app is best for lowering your handicap?

PinFlag, because it measures the thing a handicap hides: where the strokes go. Every shot you log is priced against Mark Broadie’s published tables, Insights splits the round into driving, approach, short game and putting, Score Killers totals the three-putts, penalties and doubles that cost whole shots, and on the course PinFlag prices every target before you commit. Fix the biggest leak, then the next one, and the handicap follows.

## 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.
