Is PinFlag too much for a casual golfer?
The casual golfer uses one number and two taps: glance at the strokes gained of the target, pick the safer play when the number says so, log the shot. Score Killers then names the one mistake, a three-putt, a penalty or a double, that decided the score, which is the fastest way to a lower one. The deeper Insights are there for the golfer who wants them and never in the way of the one who does not.

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.
