Using LINK with Golf Pad Classic

Modified on Thu, 24 Oct at 9:19 AM

LINK availability


Effective November 1, 2018 new Golf Pad TAGS are now available for both iPhone and Android. Therefore, we decided to stop LINK production. TAGS provide automatic game tracking at a more affordable price, allowing more golfers to enjoy this technology.


Golf Pad Classic continues supporting existing LINK users. Future innovation will focus on TAGS to give users the best possible experience.



Using Golf Pad LINK


  1. Fully charge your Golf Pad LINK. The orange LED charging light will turn to green once the device is fully charged.
  2. Power on the LINK by pressing the power button.
  3. Open Golf Pad Classic app and tap Preferences (the gear icon in the top right corner of the main screen) and select Golf Pad LINK / TAGS.
  4. Choose 'Use LINK reader' option.
  5. Tap 'Pair new device'.
  6. You should see a Golf Pad LINK device in the list of the nearby devices. It may take a minute to appear. Select it from the list.
  7. Once you get the prompt, press and hold the power button on the LINK reader for 2+ seconds.
  8. The LINK is now connected. The blue light on the reader will blink slowly when the device is paired to your phone. 
  9. Scan a tag against LINK and pick the club from the list.
  10. Repeat for all clubs


When your LINK is paired, you are playing a round and scanning your tags, your phone will display "waiting for location". This is because the LINK reader is using its own GPS. This is normal. You know you have GPS lock when the green light is blinking slowly.
