Visualise the safest route and where to leave approach shots, reducing surprise yardages and improving strategic decisions on each hole.
Pinpoint targets on demand – with Touch IP point selection
Touch IP allows creation of a reference point on the hole, and the watch then supplies distances from that point to the hole as well as to the chosen point. Distances to front, centre and back of the green and to targets and hazards are available.
Tap a landing spot or hazard to get exact yardage, making club choice and lay-up decisions quicker and more precise during play.
