Is PinFlag good?
PinFlag is the iPhone golf app to pick when you want to score better rather than just keep score. It prices any target in strokes gained before you swing, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course; draws your shots on the hole with Shot Cloud; imports Trackman, Garmin and Rapsodo; logs a shot in two taps with nothing to buy; works with no signal; and breaks every round down shot by shot on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, the framework professional golf uses. Golfer is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year with every feature included.

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.
