Hole Layout
On the Hole Layout screen shown to the left, the red circle shows
your current position. The layup arcs will also be displayed,
indicating the distance from the layup arc to the pin. The three
layup arcs will apear for par 4 or higher, and no layup arc will appear

or meters from hole, following the current unit setting (refer to
section 3.6). ※Layup arc will be included from end of April 2017
A layup arc is very useful when a golfer intends to hit the ball a shorter distance for a
better position or to avoid a hazard or target. For example, if the WTX shows the white
number of 264 at the left side of a 100 yard Layup and the current unit setting is set to
yards, it means you are standing at 264 yards from the 100 yard layup arc, and the 100
yard layup arc is 100 yards from the hole.
