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.
15
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.

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.
Hazards
20
Note: When there is no information available about hazards on a hole, you see a message saying
No info.
Zooming in on a hazard
Your TomTom Golfer 2 shows the position of hazards relative to their position on the actual course.
To see more detail about the hazards currently in front of you, do the following:
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.
You see a zoomed-in view of the hazards currently in the middle of the screen showing accurate
distances and more detail.
21
3. To zoom out, cover the screen again with your palm.
Tip: You don't see doglegs in the zoomed-in Hazards screen.
22
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.
Tip: To switch on prompting for your score before you move to the next hole, move Down to
open the Settings menu from the Clock screen, then select Options and move Right, select Hole.
Select ON+SCORE.
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. To record
an extra stroke, cover the screen with your palm when you are in the Range or Scorecard
screens.

holes, as shown below.
4. Move Right to see the score for each hole of that previous round.
5. Move Left to go back to the name of the course.
Tip: Up to 250 completed scorecards can be stored on the watch, and this information includes
the overall score and per hole score for each round.

About autoshot detection
Your watch automatically records when you make a swing or shot and tells you by vibrating and
showing an alert.
The watch vibrates because if you hold a 4-5 second follow-through after playing your stroke, you
may miss seeing the alert.
Note: You can make several practice swings without affecting your scorecard because only one
stroke is added to the scorecard from each location. If you need to add more strokes, for
example due to a penalty shot, you can record a stroke manually by covering the screen with
your palm.
Important: All putts need to be recorded manually. See: Manually recording a stroke.
Manually recording a stroke
Occasionally autoshot detection may not record a stroke and in these situations, you can manually
record a stroke instead. Also all putts need to be recorded manually.
To manually record a stroke, cover the screen of your watch with your palm.

A
Autoshot detection
Your watch automatically records one swing or shot at each location and tells you by vibrating and
showing an alert. If you make practice swings within 15 metres of a location, your watch doesn't add
extra strokes and hence doesn't vibrate.
B
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.
D
Dogleg
Some holes are deliberately designed with no direct line-of-sight from the tee to the green. A hole
may bend either to the left or to the right and this bend is called a "dogleg", in reference to the
similarity to a dog's ankle.
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.
Glossary of Terms
35
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 2 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 2 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.
