Are you noticing discrepancies between the distances/stats you are achieving on the course, and the distances being shown in Circles?

Does this sound like you?
My shortest Drive was 220yds, my longest was 310yds, yet Circles says my average driving distance was 160yds... what happened?

If your driving distance look different to what you were achieving out on the course, a common error we see is that you have entered the distance of your shot instead of the distance to the pin.

When you are adding in data for each shot such as the club you used and the length of the shot, make sure 'length' refers to the distance from your shot, to the pin.

This is the measurement you would normally take with your rangefinder.

Entering the correct measurements for your shots in Circles will ensure you get accurate results in your dashboard and your data won't look distorted.
