Flags have been used in golf to indicate or mark a hole since before 1875! That’s a long time and the reason for this is simple. Flags on a golf course give a visual marker for where the hole is from a distance. This way golfers can use the flag to give them an idea of where to aim their shot and the approximate distance to the hole from where they stand. They can strategize on how to make their shot with the fewest strokes. What if you could use the flagstick marker to not just visualize the distance to the pin but also use it as a resource to determine windspeed and direction on the course so you can take more calculated shots and play your best with all the information at hand!
