Does PinFlag slow down a round?
Two taps per shot is faster than writing a score, and the number you read before the shot takes the time a rangefinder takes. Nothing is typed, nothing is worn, nothing is charged, and the app works with no signal, so there is no waiting on a connection. A golfer who logs every shot finishes with a scorecard that scored itself and a round already broken down.

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.
