SkyTrak Quick Tip: Fairway Mode

Do you know how many fairways a round you hit? Do you miss more than half of them? The odds are you probably do because the average fairways hit on the PGA Tour is 60%. Us amatures are lucky to hit fairways 50 % of the time if we are lucky.

Thanks to the Fairway mode feature on the SkyTrak you can learn to limit those misses and move your game to the next level.

This feature is included in the game improvement package is easy to find and even easier to use. Once you get yourself into the driving range you will notice on the left side of the screen a little cog or gear. Click on that icon you will see two options. Either greens or fairway mode will be displayed. Select the fairway mode feature and then you will see a few options to choose from.

You can adjust the width of the fairway, left or right dog leg and the distance to the bend of the fairway.  The length of the fairway only goes to 300 so if you’re a big hitter, you may get some misses on your shots but honestly, I haven’t hit It far enough on this feature to find out.

After the fairway mode you want to practice is selected you are back in the driving range with the modifications you made. Every shot you take will be scored as a hit or a miss. The left side of the screen will display your hit percentage as well as the total number of shots you have taken. If you are like me and struggle to find the short grass off the tee, this is an amazing feature.

I have even started playing simulated holes at home from my local course by adjusting the length of the fairway based on my yardage books. By doing this I’ve started to gain confidence off the tee and I look forward to seeing the results in the spring.
