While Playing

  • Hitting the Ball: Ensure the hitting area is clear and the ball has been picked up by the sensor (you will hear a binging noise).
  • Club Selection: You do not have to select which club you are using during play unless you are using a putter off the green.
  • Drops/Penalties/Re-tees: Please press “Enter” to drop the ball. Press “Z” to see your options of where you can drop (PGA Rules – W or S to move forward or backward, if applicable). If on the tee box, your third shot will take place after all other players have taken their initial tee shot.
  • Mulligans: Happens to the best of us, press “Esc” and select “Rewind shot”. Pay attention to turn order as mulligans can only be taken on your own turn.
  • Declare Unplayable: Some courses do not have designated penalty zones. If you find yourself deep in the woods or on the wrong side of a cliff, press “Esc” and select “Declare Unplayable”
