How to Use Hyzer Lab

Guides for players and course builders

Hyzer Lab is built to be simple on the course and powerful in the community. Below is a quick guide to the most important workflows.

Add a Course

Anyone can build the directory. Tap the emerald + Add Course button on the Find Courses page, fill in the name, city, and state, then set the total holes. You can also add custom holes like 3b or 19. Courses you add are shared with every Hyzer Lab player.

Collect GPS Pin Locations

In the hole setup screen, look for the Pin GPS row. Stand at the basket, tap the target button, and wait a few seconds while the app samples your position. The best fix is saved automatically. Once a pin is saved, every player can use it for the GPS rangefinder and distance displays during rounds.

Set Fairway Shape

While building the course, pick a fairway shape for each hole: Straight, Dogleg Left, or Dogleg Right. The AI Caddie uses this along with wind and distance to suggest the right disc from your bag.

Start a Round

From the dashboard, tap Start Round. Choose a course from the directory or pick one of your favorites. Add up to 4 players, then use + and - to log strokes. The fixed bottom bar always shows your total score and relative to par.

Build Your Bag

Tap My Bag to add every disc you carry. Include the disc type, stability, speed, glide, turn, fade, and condition. The Caddie AI needs a complete bag to give smart recommendations.

Use the AI Caddie

During a round, the Caddie card recommends a disc based on hole distance, fairway shape, wind speed, and wind direction. Recommendations improve as you log more rounds and field work throws.

Field Work

Open Field Work to log practice throws with GPS launch and landing points. This calibrates the Caddie to your real-world flight paths and makes future round suggestions sharper.

Favorite Courses

Tap the star on any course card to save it to your favorites. You can filter the directory to show only favorites, and your favorites appear at the top of the course selector on the Start Round screen.

Leagues

Create or join a local league. League hosts can run check-ins, build cards, and save scores for everyone. Stats are calculated from league event rounds only, so the leaderboard reflects real league play.

Follow a Live Round

When a friend starts a live round, they get a share code. Enter the code on Follow a Round to watch their scores update in real time as they play.

Community Notes

Course edits are shared across all users. Only the person who created a course or a designated admin can delete it. If you see bad data, use the Feedback page to report it.
