The new TomTom Golfer 2 GPS watch detects shots automatically and stores the information so you can analyse your play after your round using the TomTom MySports app

The ultra-slim TomTom Golfer 2 GPS Watch is designed to help golfers improve their game detecting tee and approach shots automatically, which can then be analysed after your round.

Uncertainty off the tee is eliminated by measuring distances to reach and carry hazards as well as lay up points. Using the TomTom Golfer 2 golfers can see distances for drives and approach shots at-a-glance and then analyse their strokes in TomTom MySports after the game. The auto scorecard tracks the score to make it easy for a golfer to see what is working in their game, and what improvements can be made. Putts need to be added manually after each hole.

“We know that often the best improvements simply come from knowing where you went wrong,” says Clive Millington, COO, TomTom.  “This is why we have designed such detailed post-game analysis for the TomTom Golfer 2 to show you where to improve, but also to know what you’re capable of.”

The TomTom MySports post-game analysis gives insights into shot patterns and greens in regulation.  Rounds can be studied hole-by-hole in order to build on your strengths and improve your weaknesses.

The TomTom Golfer 2 uses graphics to easily visualise the best approach to the green, giving precise distances to front and back of the hazards on over 40 thousand courses worldwide.

Sleek, lightweight, water-resistant and durable for long-lasting comfort the TomTom Golfer 2 is designed to be worn both on and off the course.
