  • How to Measure Shot
    • You can track 2 shots separately (i.e. drive, approach) or 2 shots simultaneously (i.e. your drive and your partner's drive). To track the distance of any shot, cycle to the Shot Distance screen with the center button. When standing at the location where the shot is taken, activate one or both of the Shot Distance fields by pressing the corresponding upper or lower button. Doing so will set the shot location to zero, and the device will begin measuring distance as you move toward your ball. Once you have made it to your ball, the number displayed is the distance between point A and point B in a straight line. You may pause an active shot distance field by pressing the corresponding button while measuring. To return the main golf screen, press and hold the center button when on the Shot Distance screen. Active shot measurements will continue in the background (unless paused), and can be viewed by cycling back to the Shot Distance screen.

    • Note: Shot data will reset when a hole advancement occurs (automatic hole advance or manual hole advance).
