creating your own course.

Demo Mode

SkyCaddie without being on an actual course or having satellite lock.

Preferences

Preferences contain a list of settings that you can adjust to fit your style 
of play. Scroll UP/DOWN to highlight a preference item and select.  Upon 
selecting, a pop-up window will appear listing a set of options specific 
to that menu item. Scroll to the appropriate setting and select.

 Enable the Auto Hole feature to automatically advance 

to the next hole during play allowing for hands-free play.

Scorecard  automatically  adjusts  according  to  your  playing  level.  More  information  on  the  Digital 
Scorecard is available in Section 2.5 of this Guide.
