Are you asking about front, middle and back or how do you see how far your drive or iron shot was? Once GPS shows course it should automaticaly show the front, middle and back. To check distance for driver or iron shots, push the small button at bottom of GPS to left where says set, then hit whatever and go to the ball. It should give you that distance. Hope this helped, I love mine.

Turn on golf buddy using upper right hand button when on golf course. Seven sattelites will search and locate course you are on and will give you hole # and distance to back, middle and front of green. You need to do nothing else.

Suggest you contact Adams golf as the driver has no markings to indicate CC or loft

It only gives yardage to the front, middle and back of the green. If you need more yardage information such as distance to bunkers, lay up areas, etc. look at the more expensive models. Hope this helps.

As a golfer myself u can not zoom in with this rangefinder..i would assume if the flag is moving you should be able to find the distance..i picked out a road sign at 320 yards. but u have to be pretty steady. i would say you should be able to get within a few yards if u aim for the hole on a down hill slope but just trying to pick out the flag and not being able to see the green i highly doubt it.

Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play. You will then have to chose the Country, the State and scroll down the alphabets to the course you are playing. Once you have the correct course on the screen then press that course and it will come up. This GPS system is a little more complicated than some others however I am counting on Callaway to stand by their product if there is a flaw with the product. Golf Buddy which I had before the Calloway GPS did not stand by their product so I changed and I am happy that I did.

The yardage is direct from tee to green, straight line. Does not do dog legs.

The numbers indicate your distance from the hazards/hole - in yards. Are you on the right hole? Are you AT the course you are trying to pull up? Are you sure you have the right course? (Many have similar names, or you may have inadvertently entered the wrong state.) It's all about location. Good luck!

Sorry, I don't know. If you go to www.gpsgolfbuddy.com and call their customer service # they are very helpful.

Depends on the club. If you use a wedge, get as close as you can get. The ball may go too high. Otherwise, 5 or 6 feet back works for me.

I have this model and love it. Unless you download the map (free) for the course, you only get yardage to the front, middle, back of green. However, if you download the map, you will have a curser you can move and receive the yardage to that spot. For example: you need to know how for it is to the creek that lays ahead; place the curser at the front edge of the creek while your standing next to your ball and you will have the yardage to the creek. Note: you can only download maps on 50 courses but I play a lot of golf and this seems more than enough. I don't download the map for course I only play once. I have this model and love it.

I have had a Callaway rangefinder for a couple of years. A ranging session is hard to describe accurately. If you are 150 yards away from the pin that is one session, then you check the top of the bunker you have to carry, that is another session. The distance to the front of the green is another session as well as the distance to carry the pond in front of the green is another session. You can study a 150 yard shot and use up to 5 sessions in one go. My battery lasts about 8 months of 3 or 4 rounds a week. Keep an extra battery in your bag and you are good to go.

Hi, The S2 gives you precise yardages to the front, middle and back of the green, as well as dogleg and layup distance, players can see distance to doglegs and other hazards on the course.

It shows you distance to hazards. In terms of doglegs it shows "end of fairway". But at my home course it seems to measure that to the extreme end and not the closest end of fairway. Also I don't think this is available on all doglegs but just those that are extreme or have hazards through the fairway.

First, turn it on using the furthest button to the left. When the "Play Golf/Options" captions come up, hit the "OK/Shot button (second from right). The unit will then start to acquire a satellite, and should bring you up a list of nearby courses. Use the arrow buttons (the up and down buttons in the middle) to move the cursor to the course you want to select, then hit the OK/Shot button again. It should bring you to the course. Use the arrow buttons to move up/down to the hole you need.

Mine shows a map of the green, but not the fairway. It also shows the distance to the front, the middle and the back of the green.

I believe the GPS finds whatever courses are nearby. At least that is how it works in the US. Perhaps if you go to the Sky Caddie website, it will have a more complete a answer.

there is a full course listing on the website which is admittedly frustrating to navigate and the weakest piece of the puzzle. Fortunately you don't need it much. There are over 40,000 courses loaded so the odds are very high that yours is on there. I only have 1 that is not available and it's a really small par 3 $8 course so it doesn't matter. There are a couple more in the middle of nowhere that don't have pro mode but I still have front middle back yardages to the green and most hazards are marked in basic so it's not the end of the world.
