4 Benefits of Owning a Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 GPS

You don’t have to be a Pro or scratch golfer to benefit from from gps golf technology. Even high handicappers can use the Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps to really lower scores. As a matter of fact, once you have a general idea of your club distances, you can use the Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps to a real advantage. I have read testimonials of golfers with a 34 handicap who have shaved several strokes off their game.

Think about it. How many weekend golfers really know the distance to greens, bunkers and trouble areas? How many of you have taken several extra strokes because you didn’t have the correct distance or landed over the green or into a deep green side bunker? We all have.

What about new courses you never played before. Wouldn’t it be great to really know and understand the hole before each shot? You bet it would! So here are 5 reasons you should use a Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps.

1. Improve your drive.

You will have information at your fingertips for distances on the overall length of the course, beginning and end of fairway, fairway bunkers and how far to carry them.

2. Laser target your short game.

This is the biggest benefit of all because a good short game is crucial in lowering your score. The Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps is supported by the amazing IntelliGreen technology which allows golfers to get accurate distances for the center, front and back of the green. In addition the Skycaddie SG5 will give the shape of the green from any angle of approach and quickly calculate distances to up to 40 targets at a time, all to help you choose the appropriate club for your best shot.

3. Gain confidence with every club in your bag.

This is a big one for high handicappers because most amateurs think they hit the ball further than they do. With the Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps you will no longer have to say “I hit my seven iron about 150 yards.” You will get to know your club distances so much better and eliminate the need to choke down on a club or use a three quarter swing because you simply were not comfortable with the distance and where to land the shot?

4. Take less penalty strokes with wayward shots.

With this gps technology you no longer have to guess at a distance when you miss the fairway or really hook or slice one out there. Now you have the information you need to get you out of trouble and position the next shot.

Now you can play anywhere anytime with confidence. If you happen to be playing at a new course for the first time you have the advantage of not having to worry about distances. With the Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps you can downloaded courses as needed. The Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 gps will give you all the feedback you need on the course to play a smarter, better round of golf and you will have more fun too.

Does anyone know the names of companies that provide GPS system for golf courses?

I own a Garmin iQue 3600 which is a PDA, where I can store all my contacts, documents like spreadsheets and word files, and has a built in GPS system.

With the mapsets that come with it, you can navigate anywhere in North America…. as I'm driving down the street, it actually tells me what address I am passing!

I purchased Intelligolf Eagle Edition, which allows for GPS mapping of golf courses, with many courses already mapped. The device is easy to use, and is very accurate. If you are mapping out your favorite courses, you can map 3 points or objects like bunkers, hazards, trees etc, as well as the 200, 150 and 100 markers and you can even map the front, middle and back of the green.

Courses are free to download or upload, unlike other devices like the SkyCaddie, where you pay an annual subscription.

I paid $382. cdn off Ebay, with 2006 mapset and full warranty(costs $599. U.S. from Garmin site) for the device including all the auto navigation kit, and another $60 cdn for the Intelligolf…. less then the SkyCaddie and course subscriptions.

I threw away all my maps, as I no longer need them.,… I just let the iQue3600 "tell" me where to turn…. yes it talks!

I even typed in "Golden Corral" when I was in Hilton Head, and it told me where to drive to get dinner!

Highly recommended!
