1.4 Downloading and Installing the Desktop Software
The CaddieSync™ desktop software is a simple program that enables communication between your
SkyCaddie and an online SkyCaddie account that you will need to freely setup at www.skygolf.com. You
will use CaddieSync to activate and register your SkyCaddie, purchase an optional Membership Plan,
renew an annual Membership Plan, access and download SkyGolf’s growing list of SkyCourses and more.
CaddieSync offers a Sync feature for automatic login to your online account.
To install the latest version of CaddieSync onto your computer:
1. Using a computer with Internet connection, launch a web browser and type the following address in
the address field: http://www.skygolf.com/caddiesync/start
2. In the right column, select the type of computer you own (PC or Mac) and the SkyCaddie model(s)
you own, then click on “Download CaddieSync” (Fig. 5).
IMPORTANT!
If your computer is protected by a
firewall, it may need to be set up
to allow our SkyCaddie software
programs to access the web. If
your firewall software displays
any warning messages during the
activation process, simply indicate
that you wish to allow access.
3. Should a security pop-up window appears in your web browser, please allow the download to proceed.
Choose “Run” in the Download dialog window if you want to have CaddieSync to automatically begin
the installation process after downloading.
4. Once CaddieSync has successfully installed, a SkyCaddie icon will be placed
on your computer’s desktop. This will allow you to easily launch the program
anytime you need to download courses or manage your account.
