Layup marker
A layup marker shows you how far away you currently are from the hole. For example, if you see
L100, 223, it means that you are 223 yards/metres away from the 100 yard/metre marker.
The L100 marker is 100 yards/metres from the pin.
When you reach a layup marker, the layup marker disappears from the screen.
M
Medal play
Your TomTom Golfer can be used for normal stroke play, also known as medal play. This involves
counting the total number of strokes taken on each hole during a round, or series of rounds. The
winner is the player who has taken the fewest number of strokes over the course of the round, or
rounds.
O
Out of bounds
"Out of bounds" means that all of your ball is laying beyond the boundaries of the golf course or any
part of the course. The boundary of the golf course is marked by the committee in charge of the
competition or the golf course.
Usually, if your ball is out of bounds, you must play the ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly
as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played. However you should refer to the
rules for your particular course.
P
Par
The par value for a golf course is the pre-determined number of strokes that a scratch or zero
handicap golfer needs to play a hole, a round (the sum of the pars of the played holes), or a
tournament (the sum of the pars of each round).
A golfer's score is compared with the par score. If a course has a par of 72 and a golfer takes 76
strokes to complete the course, the reported score is +4, or four over par, taking four shots more
than par to complete the course. If a golfer takes 69 strokes, their reported score is –3, or three
under par.

W
Water hazard
Water hazards are usually natural obstacles that add difficulty to a golf course, though on brand
new courses they can of course be man-made. A water hazard may typically be a stream or pond,
positioned next to the fairway or across a fairway, forcing the player to hit the ball over the water
hazard.
