What is a Caddy Lite? What Does it do?

The Caddy Lite is a portable hand held device which uses GPS technology to tell golfers all the distances they need on the golf course.

Your Caddy Lite will automatically provide you with the distances you need on each and every hole. Your Caddy Lite displays (in the top row of the display) the distance to the front of the green you are playing – EVEN if you are on an adjoining fairway or through the green. It will also show how far it is TO or TO CARRY up to three primary hazards on each hole: Bunkers, Water, Dog Legs, Fairway Run Out, Hollows or Paths etc. As these hazards become out of play, the large element of the display (visible from over 20ft away) will automatically change to the Front of the Green, Centre of Green and Back of Green.

Features

Hands free operation: Your Caddy Lite is designed so that you can switch it on as you arrive at the club, select the course you are playing on the day and your Caddy Lite will give you the distances you require for your entire round of golf. After selecting your course you SHOULD NOT NEED TO TOUCH YOUR CADDy LITE AGAIN until the round of golf is completed. No need to fiddle, press buttons or interrupt your game OR your playing partners game. Your Caddy Lite will automatically detect which hole it is on and give you the distances you need when you need them.

Easy to use: Your Caddy Lite is supplied with a simple to install and easy to use Microsoft Windows software application, CaddyConnect. The Caddy Lite allows you to set up simple owner preferences. Are you male or female? (important for the Information on each hole – such as stroke, index and Par). Do you want distance information in Yards or Metres? And what do you want to call your Caddy Lite?

Caddy Lite maps: For your Caddy Lite to work on a particular course it needs to be loaded with a Caddy Lite Map. This is a set of latitude and longitude reference points which represent the key hazard points of the hole and the front, centre and back of the green.

Up to 10 different maps can be stored on the Caddy Lite at any moment in time. Maps can be downloaded and replaced as many times as required.

Your caddy courses: The Golf Plus mapping team are mapping more and more courses each week.

Before setting off to play a game of golf, if the associated course map is not already one of the 10 that can be stored on the Caddy Lite, the player can connect their Caddy Lite to their computer and use the CaddyConnect software to download the required course map (subject to a valid Golf Plus membership or Map Credit being available). Once the map has been successfully downloaded onto the Caddy Lite, it is ready for use when the device is switched on and the course selected when the player arrives at the golf course. The Caddy Lite then uses GPS technology to guide them around the course.

There is no limit to the number of maps you can store in your online account.
