## What is PinScope?

PinScope transforms your iPhone into a fast, camera-based golf rangefinder designed specifically for real golfers on the course.
Simply point your camera at the flag, capture the target, and PinScope calculates your yardage using computer vision technology. Then adjust for real playing conditions like wind, elevation, and ball lie to get your “Plays Like” distance and personalized club recommendation.
Unlike traditional GPS golf apps that rely on mapped pin positions, PinScope measures the actual flag location you see on the course. No extra hardware. No carrying a separate laser rangefinder. Just your phone.
