Combines
A PinFlag Combine is a fixed set of stations scored through the same frozen strokes-gained engine as your rounds, rolled into a tour-anchored 0–1000 index. Templates are versioned so scores stay comparable across attempts and players.

A Combine is a fixed, versioned set of stations — Full Bag, Scoring Clubs, or Putting — scored rep by rep through the same frozen Broadie engine as your rounds, rolled into a tour-anchored 0–1000 index. Benchmark against tour, scratch, or any handicap level, no handicap service required.
Why it matters
- Practice needs a scoreboard that means something — reps priced in strokes, not made-up points.
- Benchmarks against tour, scratch, or a chosen handicap put a number on the gap.
How it works
- 1
Pick a template
Full Bag (8 stations), Scoring Clubs (6), or the Putting Combine (4) — each versioned and fixed.
- 2
Hit the reps
Each rep is scored through the frozen Broadie engine into the four categories.
- 3
Read the index
Results roll into a 0–1000 combine index anchored at tour = 500, with honest labels on self-reported scores.
Everything Combines does
- Full Bag (8 stations), Scoring Clubs (6), and Putting (4) templates — versioned so scores stay comparable
- Every rep scored through the frozen strokes-gained engine
- Tour-anchored 0–1000 combine index (tour = 500)
- Benchmarks vs tour, scratch, or a chosen handicap — all from Broadie tables
- Honor / Witnessed / Sim-verified tiers — self-reported scores labeled honestly
- “Beat your best” trends that refuse thin-data conclusions
Who it’s for
Players and coaches who want structured, comparable evidence of skill — not one good session’s memory.
What’s different
- Scored by the same engine as real rounds — a combine point means the same thing everywhere.
- Verification tiers (honor, witnessed, sim-verified) label exactly how a score was produced.
- Trends refuse thin data: “beat your best” only speaks with enough attempts behind it.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a handicap service account to benchmark?
- No. Benchmarks against tour, scratch, or any handicap level come from Broadie’s tables — no external handicap account required.
- What makes combine scores comparable?
- Templates are versioned and fixed — same stations, same reps, same engine — so an 8-station Full Bag score means the same thing next month.
