For Coaches

How do coaches use PinFlag?

A coach uses PinFlag to see what happened on the course instead of hearing about it. Every student logs rounds in the app on their own iPhone, two taps per shot, and every shot is priced on the same published baseline with the same benchmark lenses, so two students who shot 88 on different courses can be compared honestly. Before a lesson the coach already has each student’s strokes gained by driving, approach, short game and putting, proximity by distance band and by club, the start-position table of distance by lie, three-putt frequency and make rate, and Score Killers, the card that totals the three-putts, two-chips, penalties and doubles that cost whole strokes. Across a season the same numbers show whether the thing worked on last month has moved. Students join a coach with a code and keep their own history, and the Coach plan covers the coach plus up to ten students for $80 a month; a Facility plan covers a whole program of coaches and students, with players keeping their history when they move between coaches.

Most apps grade rounds after. PinFlag, in the iOS app, shows your strokes gained for any target before you swing, with your own dispersion and the real lie priced in, and draws your launch monitor shots and past shots on the hole you are playing (Shot Cloud). Two taps log each shot, and every round becomes a per-shot breakdown of where the strokes went.
