On The Road: Maximizing GolfLogix When Playing Away
When you play your home course all the time, you learn the layouts, hazards, and yardages of all the par 3s after some time. However, when you play away from home, things change. All of a sudden, you lose that comfort and consistency. You won’t know how far you have to the hole or how the golf ball is going to roll on the greens. However, with GolfLogix, you can have all of these things, even when playing away. Here are 6 ways you can maximize the benefit of GolfLogix when playing away.
Use Course Preview and Hole Layouts to Plan the Round
Before playing at a course away from home, you should take the time to familiarize yourself with the course layout. Don’t just look at the order of par 3’s, 4’s and 5’s. Also, look at the yardage of the holes, how they are laid out, and where the hazards are.
When you get out to the course on the day of play, you’ll have a much better idea of how to play each hole. You may even want to write down a few holes where you would want to hit a 3 wood off the tee or make notes on the sizes of the greens so you can choose the right club to approach.
Accurate Yardage and Distance Control
GolfLogix helps by giving you accurate yardage to the front, middle, and back of the greens. In addition, you can get yardages to hazards so you can avoid hitting your shot into the hazard if possible.
Having a number for the front, middle, and back allows you to plan out the perfect approach shot and ensure your shot still lands on the green. Precise distance measurements can help when you are unfamiliar with the course or where the yardage markers are located.
Green Reading and Putting
GolfLogix provides detailed information on slope and breaks. If you are unfamiliar with greens, whether they are sloped, have tiers or areas where the ball can just roll off then the GolfLogix will ensure you are ready for your day on the course.
In addition, take a look at this information ahead of time so you can hit a few practice putts on the green before you tee off.
Shot Tracking and Performance Analysis
Not only can you use shot tracking and performance analysis when you finish your round, but you can also use it as part of your golf round when playing away from home. Use the data to adapt your strategy as you play.
If you will be playing away from home more often, check in on these stats and data and see where your game struggles when you get to an unfamiliar golf course.
In addition, take a good look at the round you had when you are finished and pinpoint areas that can help you the next time you play this golf course. A great round of golf is just as much about the plan and the approach as it is about the actual golf shots you hit.
Real-Time Adjustments and Strategy
As important as it is to adjust your strategy and plan before you get out to the course, you’ll also want to pay very close attention when you are in the middle of your round. GolfLogix can help
you adjust your strategy in real-time based on course conditions and wind.
You’ll learn to adapt your round to the conditions, and then you can decide on clubs based on this data.
For instance, if you have 200 yards to a green over a water hazard and think it’s just too much, use GolfLogix to pick a smart spot to lay up.
Without the help of GolfLogix, you won’t be able to make these same adjustments in the middle of your round.
Conclusion
GolfLogix is a tool that every golfer needs when playing from home, but don’t underestimate its importance when you are playing away. Being able to adjust your game, make changes that allow you to score lower, and encourage better decisions could make your time spent away from home all that much more exciting. Golfers who play the best golf have a strategy and plan, especially when playing an unfamiliar course. With GolfLogix, most of the difficult work is done for you. With tens of thousands of courses to choose from, chances are you’ll have all the data you need for any course you plan to play.
