To restart your round again, move Right.

To stop the round completely, move Left to pause and then move Left again.

15

Laying up

About laying up

A layup shot is made from the fairway after the drive, but due to the presence of a hazard, you have to deliberately make the shot shorter than usual or more accurate. This called laying up.

Most often, you lay up to avoid hitting the ball into a hazard on the fairway, or to put the ball in a more favourable position on the fairway for the next shot.

See also: Laying up using your watch

Laying up using your watch

The layup screen during play (see below) shows the layup markers on the left-hand side of the watch screen and your current distance from that marker on the right-hand side of the watch screen.

So as you look towards the pin, you can see how far away you currently are from the 200, 150 and

100 yard/metre markers.

For example, in the image below, the golfer is 236 yards/metres from the 200 yard/metre layup marker.

16

As you walk the hole towards the pin, your current distance from the first L200 marker on the right-hand side of the watch screen reduces.

When you reach a layup marker, the layup marker disappears from the screen.

The default distances for the layup markers are 100, 150, 200.

Note: Keep moving Up to cycle through the Dogleg, Hazards, Layup or Green view screen,

depending on which are applicable for the current hole. Green view is always present.

Tip: If a poor or loss of signal occurs, the range values grey and display the last values that were

deemed to be good or accurate.

Layup and green views

As you approach the green , move Up or Down to swap between the layup screen and the green

view as shown below.

Once you have passed the last layup marker, the watch automatically shows only the view of the green.

Approaching the green

About greens

A green, or putting green, is an area of closely trimmed grass surrounding the hole or pin. Holing out or getting the ball into the hole with the minimum number of strokes possible is the main aim of playing golf.

The green allows players to putt or make precision strokes using a putter. A putter has very low loft or angle on the face of the club so that the ball rolls smoothly along the ground, and hopefully into the hole.

Usually the green is flatter than other areas of the course, though gentle slopes and undulations can be found on courses. Sand or water hazards are often placed adjacent to the green, which makes

the approach to the pin more challenging and can require the golfer to lay up .

The location of the hole changes from day to day to promote even wear of the turf on the green.

The grass of the green is cut very short so that a ball can roll for a long distance. The green is typically surrounded by slightly higher grass known as the fringe, and then by the fairway and/or rough. The fringe slows the ball and stops it rolling along the green from an approach shot or putt, preventing the ball from leaving the green.

Though it is possible to putt on the fringe, the longer grass interferes with the path of the ball. Hence players often choose to use a lofted club such as an iron to make a chip shot, where the ball carries in the air for a few yards and then rolls along the green like a normal putt.

Approaching the green using your watch

As seen from the example below, the shape of the green on your watch mirrors the shape of the actual green that you approaching.

Any surrounding hazards are shown as patterns. Water is shown using a wave pattern and bunkers as a dotted pattern. If a water and sand hazard are in the same area surrounding the green, water takes priority and that pattern is shown over the sand pattern. For more information on hazards, see

About hazards .

The pin location is shown and reflects the middle value on the range screen.

Hazards

About hazards

A hazard is an area of a golf course which provides a difficult obstacle for the golfer to negotiate. A course may include water hazards such as lakes and rivers, man-made hazards such as bunkers, and natural hazards such as trees or thick vegetation.

Many recreational golfers use the term "hazard" to mean anything on a golf course that is hazardous to one's score such as thick rough or a tall tree in the middle of a fairway.

A ball is considered to be in a hazard when any part of the ball touches that hazard. Special rules apply to playing balls that have landed in a hazard. For example, a player may not touch the ground with his club before playing a ball, not even for a practice swing. A ball in any hazard may be played as it lies without penalty. If it cannot be played from the hazard, the ball may be hit from another location, generally with a penalty of one stroke.

Bunkers

A bunker is a steep-sided hole or shallow pit near the green or fairway that is usually filled with sand. It can be more difficult to play a ball from sand than from grass and bunkers sometimes have a raised lip which makes it difficult to hit the ball out of the bunker.

To hit the ball out of a bunker, you usually need to use a very lofted club called a "sand wedge".

Specific rules of golf govern play from a bunker. Also, after playing out of a bunker, the player or their caddy must rake smooth the area of the sand disturbed during play.

There are three types of bunkers used when designing a course and all are designed to impede the golfer's progress toward the green. Bunkers in the middle or sides of the fairway can catch inaccurate tee shots on par 4 and par 5 holes. Bunkers near and around the green can collect inaccurate approach shots on long holes and tee shots on par 3 holes. On links or coastal courses, very large natural sandy areas are not considered to be hazards according to the rules of golf, and the rules are different for these areas from other bunkers.

Water hazards

Water hazards are usually natural obstacles that add difficulty to a golf course, though on brand new courses they can of course be man-made. A water hazard may typically be a stream or pond, positioned next to the fairway or across a fairway, forcing the player to hit the ball over the water hazard.

Tip: Water hazards don't have to actually have water in them to count as hazards.

See also: Understanding hazards on your watch

21

Understanding hazards on your watch

Your TomTom Golfer can show you nearby water hazards or bunkers that are within 300 metres

(328 yards).

On your watch, hazards are shown as a water or sand pattern, with front and back distance measurements, such as 293 (back) and 278 (front) as shown below.

Position of hazards on the fairway

Your TomTom Golfer shows the position of hazards relative to their position on the actual course.

22

For example, the watch below is showing a bunker

218 yards/metres on the right and a water hazard 278 yards/metres straight ahead that you will need to hit the ball over - it is 15 yards/metres

wide.

23

Scoring

About scoring

Your TomTom Golfer can be used for normal stroke play, also known as medal play. This involves counting the total number of strokes taken on each hole during a round, or series of rounds. The winner is the player who has taken the fewest number of strokes over the course of the round, or rounds.

The par value for a golf course is the pre-determined number of strokes that a scratch or zero handicap golfer needs to play a hole, a round (the sum of the pars of the played holes), or a tournament (the sum of the pars of each round).

A golfer's score is compared with the par score. If a course has a par of 72 and a golfer takes 76 strokes to complete the course, the reported score is +4, or four over par, taking four shots more than par to complete the course. If a golfer takes 69 strokes, their reported score is –3, or three under par.

Tip: It is mainly the length of the hole from the tee position to the pin that sets the par value for a

hole. Other things that affect the par chosen for each hole include the terrain and obstacles, such as trees, hazards, hills, or buildings, any of which may mean that the golfer takes more or fewer shots. Most eighteen hole courses that were not designed for championships have a par close to seventy two.

Scoring using your watch

After playing a hole, move Right until you see the scorecard screen. The scorecard is used for recording your score for each hole, and it also shows you your total score so far for the round.

1. Your score relative to par for the round.

"E" means even par for the hole. A plus sign (+) means over par, and a minus sign (-) below par.

24

2. The identifying number of the hole, for example, here the golfer is on the first hole.

3. The par for the hole. For example, the first hole shown above is a par 5.

4. The total number of strokes taken so far for a round. In this example, the golfer has played one hole and taken 5 strokes so the total for the round so far is also 5 strokes.

5. The number of strokes for the hole just played.

Enter the score for a hole by moving Up and Down until the number of strokes that you played for that hole are shown.

Note: If you hit a ball

out of bounds or onto an adjoining hole by mistake, just record the extra

strokes on your watch as part of the total for that hole after you finished playing it.

See also: Viewing previous scores

Viewing previous scores

1. Move Up from the clock screen to see scores from your previous rounds.

You see the dates of your recent rounds along with the overall score for the round, for example as shown above, 3 under, 2 under or even par.

A bunker is a steep-sided hole or shallow pit near the green or fairway that is usually filled with sand. It can be more difficult to play a ball from sand than from grass and bunkers sometimes have a raised lip which makes it difficult to hit the ball out of the bunker.

G

Green

A green, or putting green, is an area of closely trimmed grass surrounding the hole or pin. Holing out or getting the ball into the hole with the minimum number of strokes possible is the main aim of playing golf.

H

Hazard

A hazard is an area of a golf course which provides a difficult obstacle for the golfer to negotiate. A course may include water hazards such as lakes and rivers, man-made hazards such as bunkers, and natural hazards such as trees or thick vegetation.

Many recreational golfers use the term "hazard" to mean anything on a golf course that is hazardous to one's score such as thick rough or a tall tree in the middle of a fairway.

L

Laying up

A layup shot is made from the fairway after the drive, but due to the presence of a hazard, you have to deliberately make the shot shorter than usual or more accurate. This called laying up.

Most often, you lay up to avoid hitting the ball into a hazard on the fairway, or to put the ball in a more favourable position on the fairway for the next shot.

Layup marker

A layup marker shows you how far away you currently are from the hole. For example, if you see

L100, 223, it means that you are 223 yards/metres away from the 100 yard/metre marker.

The L100 marker is 100 yards/metres from the pin.

When you reach a layup marker, the layup marker disappears from the screen.

M

Medal play

Your TomTom Golfer can be used for normal stroke play, also known as medal play. This involves counting the total number of strokes taken on each hole during a round, or series of rounds. The winner is the player who has taken the fewest number of strokes over the course of the round, or rounds.

O

Out of bounds

"Out of bounds" means that all of your ball is laying beyond the boundaries of the golf course or any part of the course. The boundary of the golf course is marked by the committee in charge of the competition or the golf course.

Usually, if your ball is out of bounds, you must play the ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played. However you should refer to the rules for your particular course.

P

Par

The par value for a golf course is the pre-determined number of strokes that a scratch or zero handicap golfer needs to play a hole, a round (the sum of the pars of the played holes), or a tournament (the sum of the pars of each round).

A golfer's score is compared with the par score. If a course has a par of 72 and a golfer takes 76 strokes to complete the course, the reported score is +4, or four over par, taking four shots more than par to complete the course. If a golfer takes 69 strokes, their reported score is –3, or three under par.

S

Stroke play

Your TomTom Golfer can be used for normal stroke play, also known as medal play. This involves counting the total number of strokes taken on each hole during a round, or series of rounds. The winner is the player who has taken the fewest number of strokes over the course of the round, or rounds.

W

Water hazard

Water hazards are usually natural obstacles that add difficulty to a golf course, though on brand new courses they can of course be man-made. A water hazard may typically be a stream or pond, positioned next to the fairway or across a fairway, forcing the player to hit the ball over the water hazard.
