Choosing your tees

Andrew shows all available tee boxes for the course with their ratings:

• Yardage — Total distance
• Rating — Course difficulty rating
• Slope — Relative difficulty for bogey vs. scratch golfers

Select the tees you're actually playing from. This affects handicap calculations and GPS distances.

Playing fewer than 18 holes

Not playing a full round? No problem:

• Front 9 — Holes 1-9
• Back 9 — Holes 10-18
• Custom — Select specific holes if available

Your score will be recorded appropriately for handicap purposes.

Once your round begins:

• You'll see the scorecard for hole 1
• GPS yardages appear automatically
• Enter scores as you complete each hole
• Swipe or tap to move between holes

Your round saves automatically as you go—no need to worry about losing data.
