Playing Golf

ree

  • Note that courses are played at their actual altitude in real life, your ball will not fly as far at sea level as it does in Montana.

  • Click the TrackMan logo at the top left at any time to access the settings.

    • Add or Remove players during a round.

    • Exit the round.

      • You can return to it latter if you are logged into your TrackMan account.

    • Change putting mode.

    • Change time of day.

    • You can not change the wind or score keeping mode.

  • All of your shots should be aimed at the middle of the screen for the best accuracy and performance.

    • The computer is a touch screen, tap or click anywhere on the screen to change where you are aiming .

    • You can also tap on the mini map on the right of the screen to aim at specific spots.

  • Click on the club to change what club you are using.

    • This is not required and will not affect the shot.

    • This only helps with data collection within your TrackMan profile.

      • TrackMan will start to learn how far you hit each club and select and appropriate club for each shot.

    • The only time you are required to select a club is if you will be using your putter from off the green. If you try to use a putter without putter selected, it will not register a shot.

  • Before your shot take note of your lie information at the bottom right of the screen. Distance and spin will be affected by your lie. This is very important when in heavy rough and the sand.

    • Power %: How far your ball will travel on this shot. If it shows 80%, your ball will only fly 80% as far as it would have from out of the fairway

    • Spin %: How much your ball will spin on this shot. If it shows 80%, your ball will only spin 80% as far as it would have from out of the fairway.

  • If you hit your ball into a penalty area you usually have an open to drop or rehit, it may be easier to take a penalty stroke and rehit.

    • Click the Player Name at the top of the screen to show rehit options

    • Trees can be very hard to hit out of and you would often be better off talking the rehit penalty strokes

  • If you logged into your TrackMan account all your round data will be saved to your TrackMan profile

  • Using the TrackMan App select "Activities" and select the round you want to review
