The Caddie Manual

So, you’ve just unboxed your brand-new Caddie by Pinned Golf—now what? Before you head out to the course, here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to getting your device fully set up so you can start playing smarter straight away.

Step 1: Create Your Pinned Golf Account

Begin by powering on your Caddie and launching the setup flow. You’ll be asked to create your account:

  • Enter your first and last name
  • Provide your email address
  • Set a secure password (tip: include numbers)
  • Confirm the password
  • Add your mobile number for account recovery and updates

Once that’s done, tap to continue.

Step 2: Personalise Your Golfer Profile

This step helps The Caddie tailor its features to your game. You’ll fill in a few quick details:

  • Date of birth – (Rumour has it Pinned Golf might surprise you on your birthday!)
  • Gender
  • Dominant hand – Are you a righty or lefty?
  • Your handicap – Important for features like auto dots
  • How many rounds you play each year – Helps with performance tracking

Step 3: Register Your Device

Give your Caddie a unique name—something fun or personal. Next, let Pinned know:

  • Where you purchased The Caddie
  • Why you chose it – Bigger screen? Better shot strategy? Multiplayer features?

This insight helps them continue to improve the product and features.

Step 4: Select and Download Your Courses

This is where the magic begins:

  • Choose your home course – This will be saved permanently on your device
  • Add up to 25 additional courses you play regularly. All maps are downloaded offline, so you never have to worry about weak signals or missing layouts on the first tee.

Once done, choose your player icon, and onboarding is complete.
