What are Golf Pad PLAYS LIKE distances? What does PLAYS LIKE mean?
PLAYS LIKE distances help you make critical decisions on the golf course and lower your scores. The feature is available on Android and iPhone. The enhanced data is also available on the golfer’s smartwatch.

In addition to GPS range, Golf Pad now displays PLAYS LIKE distance. PLAYS LIKE refers to the distance you would normally need to hit to reach the target under ‘regular conditions’ at your home course. This gives golfers critical data to improve club selection.

PLAYS LIKE distances are based on:

– Elevation change to target
– Temperature
– Barometric pressure
– Humidity
– Altitude
– Wind
all compared to your home course.

For example, if you are playing golf on a hot day or at a higher altitude above the sea level, the ball travels longer than it normally would. So, your PLAYS LIKE distance will be lower than the actual GPS distance, meaning you can use less club to reach the green. On the other hand, if you play on a cold humid day or if the green is elevated, the PLAYS LIKE distance will be greater than GPS distance, so you need more club.
