The golf app for college golfers
College golf is measured in strokes gained, and PinFlag measures it the way the TOUR does: every shot priced on Mark Broadie’s published baselines, approach play broken down by distance band and club with proximity, the share inside 15 and 30 feet, dispersion circles and lateral and long-short offsets. Tournament mode captures every round in full, and a Facility plan puts every coach and player in a program on one baseline at $299 a month.
On the course
Preview a course before the practice round with every target priced on your own dispersion, then play the tournament round in tournament mode, which logs every shot and distance in full and holds the live number until you finish. Every logged shot records where you aimed as well as where it finished, so on-course dispersion is measured from real competition rounds.
After the round
The per shot list sorts by start distance, lie or proximity, the season view carries the categories across every round against last year, and the Scratch lens reads the round against a scratch level table. A coach on the program sees the roster on one baseline, and players keep their history when they move between coaches.
Proximity is the number
From 150 yards in the fairway the tour average needs 2.945 strokes to hole out, so the finish decides the value of every approach: the table prices the same green hit by where the ball stops, and Insights measures it by distance band and by club with the share inside 15 and 30 feet.
An approach from 150 yards, by finish

| 6 feet | 1.357 | +0.59 | 64% |
| 10 feet | 1.626 | +0.32 | 37% |
| 15 feet | 1.784 | +0.16 | 22% |

In PinFlag
Every number PinFlag shows college golfers is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site and labeled Measured or Estimated so you always know what stands behind it. On the benchmark model a 2 handicap sits 3 strokes a round from the tour average; PinFlag shows which shots.
