Doglegs Understanding doglegs on your watch Your TomTom Golfer 2 can show whether any doglegs are present on a hole. On your watch, a dogleg is shown as an arrow icon on the range screen.

Note: Double doglegs are not supported by your TomTom Golfer 2.
For example, the watch below is showing a dogleg right at 230 yards/metres from your current position. The distance to the start of the dogleg is measured along the course centre line.
Laying up Laying up using your watch The layup screen during play (see below) shows the layup markers on the left-hand side of the watch screen and your current distance from that marker on the right-hand side of the watch screen. So as you look towards the pin, you can see how far away you currently are from the 200, 150 and 100 yard/metre markers. For example, in the image below, the golfer is 236 yards/metres from the 200 yard/metre layup marker.
