IMPORTANT!

When your SGX is in the process of syncing with CaddieSync, please DO NOT remove the cable or interrupt the syncing process. Syncing typically takes less than a minute.

Did You Know?

You do not have to have your SGX with you to access the course list in CaddieSync. You can manually enter in your SkyGolf.com login and manage your Favorites list prior to downloading them to your SGX.

Note

If you are syncing up to 50 Full- Featured SkyCourses to your SGX — or if there is a new software update

please expect the download and installation process to take a few minutes, as there will be a lot of

data being transferred to your SGX.

IntelliGreen Pro and Interactive HoleVue started being added to SkyCaddie’s course database in 2009, so availability of these features may be limited in your area initially, but those quantities will grow rapidly as the hole images are corrected and rectified through our mapping process. While this process is tedious and may delay release of HoleVue in mass quantities, the reliability factor is overriding our temptation to provide images with less reliability.

2.3.1Overview of Included Features

Hazards, Carries and Layups: SkyCaddie records thousands of points on each golf course with sub-meter precision. Distances to hazards, carries and layups are displayed automatically as you move down the course. Knowing these critical distances lets you manage your game and eliminate those 6, 7, and 8s from your scorecard.

Interactive HoleVue™ With Zoom: SkyCaddie is creating, at a rate of hundreds per month, the only high- precision graphics library of every golf hole, based on ground-corrected data. With HoleVue, you’ll know the distance to any point on a hole in order to play that hole with the fewest strokes. Need a close-up view to strategize your next shot? HoleVue includes a patented zoom function to dial into the exact area you need to see.

IntelliGreen®: With SkyCaddie’s patented IntelliGreen® technology, the exact shape of the green automatically rotates to match your angle of approach to provide all of the distances you need to hit more greens and avoid 3-putts. This proprietary feature gives you a chance to turn 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.

IntelliGreen® Pro: Built on proven IntelliGreen technology, IntelliGreen Pro is another proprietary feature that adds distances to major green contours, false fronts, front carry and back distances — plus any other point on the green from your angle of attack. This kind of crucial scoring information is only possible by using our ground-verified mapping process.
