PinSheet helps you master approach shots by showing exactly where the flag is visually and with precise offsets going beyond traditional paper pin sheets. No more guesswork from vague colour-coded flags. Get your club to give you the edge! Plan Your Shots with Confidence. Get instant distance readings to the flag, front, middle, and back of the green in either meters or yards, by using the hole overview you can effectively plan your strategy and club selection. Our new scoring and statistics capture system is so easy to use and non invasive to your game. Cache data lets you play even when in airplane mode for those areas without data or expensive roaming charges. With the 'always on' and 'auto advance' features you can use PinSheet in your personal buggy for instant information when you need it. Our new landscape mode is specifically engineered just for this. Use the non invasive statistics system to analyse your round, season or all play. Instantly see where you are loosing or gaining advantage for your round, share your results and analysis.
