Doglegs Understanding doglegs on your watch Your TomTom Golfer can show whether any doglegs are present on a hole. A dogleg is shown on your watch as an arrow icon on the range screen.

Note: Double doglegs are not supported by your TomTom Golfer.
The distance to the start of the dogleg is measured along the course center line.
Laying up 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 toward the pin, you can see how far away you currently are from the 200, 150 and 100 yard/meter markers. For example, in the image below, the golfer is 236 yards/meters from the 200 yard/meter layup marker.

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

Glossary of Terms B Ball Marker A metal or plastic disc placed on the green to mark the ball location. Using a ball marker allows the player to temporarily remove the ball, to clean it for example. Bunker 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.
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/meters away from the 100 yard/meter marker. The L100 marker is 100 yards/meters 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.
