1.4 Downloading and Installing the Desktop Software
The CaddieSync™ desktop software is a simple program that enables communication between your

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).

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

the installation process after downloading.

anytime you need to download courses or manage your account.
