Share
The Caddie from Pinned Golf is more than just a GPS—it’s your portable golf companion, offering real-time course insights, player tracking, and scoring features in a sleek, easy-to-use format. Whether you're playing a competitive match or a solo round, here’s how to get set up and start swinging with confidence.
Step 1: Setting Up a Multiplayer Game
Start by powering up The Caddie and selecting your course. In this example, we’re playing an 18-hole round from the back tees at President’s Golf Course.
- Add Players: Simply enter the names of your playing partners. You can assign different tees for each player and toggle team play on or off.
- Set Handicaps: Input each player’s handicap. This enables one of The Caddie’s best features—auto dots. These visually mark the holes where players receive strokes, making handicap play effortless.
Step 2: Reviewing the Round Overview
Before you begin, The Caddie offers a round overview including:
- Game Type: Stroke play, match play, with or without handicap adjustments.
- Scorecard: View the complete scorecard and handicap strokes per hole.
- Leaderboard: A dynamic in-round leaderboard shows who's leading and who’s stroking—updated live as you play.
Step 3: Hole Preview and Flyovers
As you approach each hole, The Caddie automatically displays a hole preview:
- Par and yardage from selected tees
- Handicap rating
- Flyover animations of the entire hole—especially helpful for planning your shots
One of the standout features here is the aerial flyover. It gives a bird’s-eye view of the hole, letting you strategise before even teeing off.
Step 4: Getting Distances and Targeting
During play, you’ll always see:
- Front, Centre, and Back Green Distances: Displayed prominently at the bottom of the screen
- Tap Anywhere: Get precise distances to any point on the hole. The larger number shows distance to your selected spot, while the smaller shows distance to the centre of the green.
Step 5: Scorekeeping and Stats
Keeping score is quick and intuitive:
- Swipe Up: Access the scorecard to log your shots
- Advanced Stats: Tap once more to enter deeper performance metrics if you wish
Step 6: In-Game Views and Navigation
Use The Caddie’s flexible view options to gain course insight:
- 3D View: Standard in-play mode with real-time visual feedback
- 2D View: A top-down perspective perfect for navigating doglegs and tricky layouts
- Green View: Zoomed-in look at the green—ideal for planning approach shots
- Replay Flyover: Rewatch the aerial view at any time if you missed it earlier
Step 7: Playing Through the Hole
As you progress down the fairway, The Caddie keeps up with you:
- The map updates in real time to reflect your position
- Easily switch between views to plan each shot
- Continue swiping and scoring as you move from hole to hole
