What does Shot Cloud show for a target over water?

How much of your pattern lands in the water. The dots that fall inside the hazard are the part of your spread that would cost a penalty, and the strokes gained number for that target already includes it. It makes "can I carry it" a picture of your own shots rather than a feeling.

About this topic

Your real pattern, drawn on the real hole, around the target you are considering. The whole topic, Shot Cloud, answers 5 questions in full.

The figures behind the answer

The published tour carries and the handicap model’s figure for a 15; an imported session replaces both with your own.

Carry by club, tour and 15 handicap

Computed from the published baselines, the same ones the app prices your shots with. Every club, priced.

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.
