Understanding doglegs on your watch 
Your TomTom Golfer 2 can show whether any doglegs are present on a hole. 
On your watch, a dogleg is shown as an arrow icon on the range screen. The direction the arrow 
points shows you whether the dogleg bends to left or to the right. 
 
You may choose to hit over a dogleg or to lay up instead. 
Note: Double doglegs are not supported by your TomTom Golfer 2.  
Position of doglegs on the fairway 
Your TomTom Golfer 2 shows the position of doglegs relative to their position on the actual course.  
Doglegs  
						

							14 
 
 
 
For example, the watch below is showing a dogleg right at 230 yards/metres from your current 
position. 
 
 
The distance to the start of the dogleg is measured along the course centre line.

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. 
 
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 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.

green.

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 distance to the centre of the green is shown and reflects the middle value on the range screen.

Understanding hazards on your watch 
Your TomTom Golfer 2 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 2 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.

No info.

1. Go to the Hazards screen. 
2. Cover the screen of your TomTom Golfer 2 with your palm as if you are turning on the back 
light.
