Understanding Course Mapping: What It Is and How It Works

Course mapping is a crucial feature that helps ensure accurate distance measurements and provides a seamless experience while using your Shot Scope device. But what exactly does course mapping entail, and how does it work?

What is Course Mapping?

Course mapping is the process of creating digital representations of golf courses using satellite imagery. This process allows Shot Scope devices to determine distances to various course features such as the green, hazards, bunkers, and tee boxes.

How Does Course Mapping Work?

Shot Scope uses a combination of satellite data and technology to map each hole of a golf course. Once the mapping is completed, the information is stored in the Shot Scope database, allowing your device to display accurate yardages and other key features during your round. The maps are updated regularly to ensure that any changes or alterations made to the course are reflected in the data.

Key Features of Course Mapping:

1. Accurate Yardages: With mapped courses, Shot Scope can provide you with precise yardages to the front, middle, and back of the green, as well as key course features such as bunkers and water hazards.
2. Dynamic Yardages: Dynamic course mapping also adjusts yardages based on your angle of approach, giving you more accurate information depending on where you are on the course.
3. Seamless Integration: Once a course is mapped, it integrates seamlessly with your Shot Scope device, automatically providing you with relevant course data as you play.

Why is Course Mapping Important?

Having a mapped course ensures that you get the most accurate distances and shot data for each round. It helps you make better decisions on the course, improve your game strategy, and ultimately improve your golfing experience.
