Comparison
PinFlag vs. Garmin
Garmin golf devices put yardages on your wrist. PinFlag answers a different question: what a target is worth in strokes gained, on the hole you are playing, before you swing.
PinFlag is best for
Golfers who already know the yardage and want to know what the shot is worth.
Garmin is best for
Golfers who want distances at a glance on their wrist, with nothing to hold.

Frequently asked questions
Is PinFlag a replacement for a Garmin golf watch?
They answer different questions. A watch tells you the distance; PinFlag tells you what a target is worth in strokes gained, with your own pattern drawn on the hole. Plenty of golfers use both, one on the wrist and one in the pocket, and PinFlag is the one that changes the decision.
Can I import my Garmin numbers into PinFlag?
Yes. Garmin launch monitor files import by CSV, and your real carry distances then sit behind every number PinFlag shows you.
Does PinFlag need a watch or any sensors?
No. It runs on your iPhone with nothing to charge or attach to a club.
