    1. The distance to the green is shown underneath the green marker icon on the right hand side of the screen.

If you would like to change it to the front or back you can tap on the blue menu and tap on ‘Edit Green Location’ which will allow you to move the green marker. This will remain the location of the green for your login account. It will not affect other golfers.
  2. Custom Marker
