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

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, alongside distance measurements to 
the hole, 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.  
For example, the watch below is showing a bunker approximately 220 yards/metres on the right and 
a water hazard 275 yards/metres straight ahead that you will need to hit the ball over - it is 
approximately 15 yards/metres wide.    
 
If there are no hazards on a hole or you have passed them already, you see a tick in the middle of 
the Hazards screen. 
Note: When there is no information available about hazards on a hole, you see a message saying 
No info.

distances and more detail.

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.  
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.
