3.3.2 IntelliGreen®

SkyGolf’s proprietary IntelliGreen technology graphically displays the true shape of the green, automatically rotating it to match your angle of approach. It turns every shot into a scoring opportunity by providing front carry and back distances, depth of green, and distances to any other point on the green — simultaneously.

The front carry, a point on the green (determined by the position of the crosshair) and back distance are displayed along the top of the screen. Each distance corresponds to a unique icon that is displayed on the green shape for quick reference. Use the joystick to re-position the crosshair by moving it in the desired direction and release. The distances will recalculate automatically based on the new position of the line.

This view also includes the automatic depth of the green and the distance from

your last mark, if you used the Mark Ball feature on the hole. Green depth is an automatic calculation of the depth of the green for your line of approach. The last mark measures, displays and updates the distance of your shots as you advance down the course toward your ball. (See section “Determining Shot Distance” for more instructions on marking your shots.)

While viewing the IntelliGreen screen, select “View” with the Left Key to see another target view. Continuing to select “View” will return you to the IntelliGreen view.

Note

Not all greens or all courses have noteworthy major green contours to require this feature. In conformance with USGA regulations, SkyCaddie does not factor slopes or gradients into distance calculations.

3.3.3 IntelliGreen® Pro

Built on proven IntelliGreen technology, IntelliGreen Pro offers all of the functionality of IntelliGreen, plus the ability to display major tiers, contours, false fronts and mounds from your angle of approach to the green. By simply moving the IntelliGreen crosshairs to the ridge lines on the image of the green, you’ll get instant distances and depth information to major tiers. This kind of crucial scoring information is only possible by precision-mapping a golf course from the ground.

If a Full-Featured course map has an IntelliGreen Pro feature, this version of IntelliGreen will be used by the SGX.

3.3.4 Target List (Hazards, Carries and Layups)

The Target List displays a list of distances to hazards, carries and layups located ahead from your position on the hole. You may use the Joystick to scroll up or down through the targets manually, or let the SGX automatically update the list of targets ahead, as you move down the fairway. The Target List also calculates and displays the “Leaves” distance to the Center of Green from the highlighted target.

If you marked your previous shot using the Mark button, the distance from that last mark (labeled “Last Mark”) will be displayed in the center of the Target List screen.
