Recording Your Own Course

The SkyCaddie allows you to record three green targets (FrontCenter, and Back) for up to five personal 

courses that are stored on your SkyCaddie. If you have purchased a SkyPlayer Club Membership Plan, you can 
backup and store courses in your own online membership account using the DirectConnect button at www.
skygolf.com
. Your personal recorded courses will be stored in your online “My 
SkyCaddie” account. So, if your SkyCaddie is lost or stolen, you can quickly 
reload the courses without having to re-record them individually.

4.1  Naming Personal SkyCaddie Courses

To record a course, select SkyCourses in the Main Menu then scroll 
to and select “New Course”. Choose Yes when prompted to “Create a 
New Course?”.

Create a name for your course (up to 10 characters) using the on-screen 
keyboard (Fig. 35). Scroll UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to the appropriate 
letter and select. To clear a letter, scroll and select the arrow symbol in 
the lower right-hand corner of the display. If you select “Done” (Right 
Soft Key) before choosing any letters the course name will default to 
“MYCOURSE#” and sequentially add a number for each course.

4.2  Recording Green Targets

After entering the course name, select “Done” to save and to advance to 
the target screen showing Front, Back, and Center. Scroll to the desired 
green target to record and select “Record” (Left Soft Key). You will be 
prompted to stand still for 5 seconds while the SkyCaddie is recording 
the location. Repeat this process for each of the green targets.

The recommended sequence to record targets is to record the front of 
the green, record the back of the green, then walk to the center of the 
green and, when the two distances are equal, record that location.

4.3  Setting Par and Handicap 

To set the par and handicap for a recorded hole, press the Info button. 
An up and down arrow will appear next to “Par” (Fig. 37). Scroll UP/
DOWN to set the desired par. Select “Hcp” (Right Soft Key) to switch 
to Handicap. Scroll UP/DOWN to set the desired handicap. Select “OK” 
to save and exit.

4.4  Playing Personal SkyCaddie Courses

To  play  a  personal  SkyCaddie  course,  press  the  Menu  button  and 
select “SkyCourses”. Scroll to the appropriate course name and select. 
Press “Play” to view a list of course hole numbers. Scroll and select 
the hole to start on.

4.5  Re-Recording Personal SkyCaddie Courses

Press the Menu button and select “SkyCourses”. Scroll to the appropriate course to re-record and select. 
Press “Play” to view a list of course hole numbers. Scroll and select the hole to start on.

Select “Mode” (Right Soft Key) then scroll to “Record” and select. Repeat steps outlined in Section 4.2 
(“Recording Green Targets”).
