  Could someone please explain the little pictures of the green with the numbers, in the Hole Info view? I know it has something to do with elevations and distances but I can't quite figure it out. If someone could use a diagram to explain it I would really appreciate it.

  Thanks!

  The numbers next to the color circles mean the distance from tee to pin according to tier. Black is for legend, white for Masters...

  then, the number on the the green picture is the size of the green, "diameter"

  hi,

  I assume you mean something like say you have par 3 thats 190 and you seen other numbers like 175 or 205 on the top view? if so, that's the distance to edges of the green, which helps when you determine carry and how much backspin to add, so on.

  It is not an up or down reading. It is the lenght of the green.   Exemple: oakmont hole #11:

  +17 on top        -17 at bottom       34 between brackets  (17 + 17 = 34)

  the flag is at -11 from center, in that case it means 6 yards from the front fringe. The difference between -17 and -11 = 6 yards.

  if flag would have been at +1 then it would have been close to center of green, since 0 is center.
