8 Benefits Using A GPS For Golf

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Subscribe to Global Positioning System at AboutClock.com

When using a GPS for golf you get the following benefits:

1. Enjoy your game more. If you are playing well you will naturally enjoy it more.

2. A Golf GPS is extremely useful when you have hit a wayward shot; say behind some trees, where you would ordinarily have no idea of how far it is to get the ball back into play or to the green. Without a line of sight you can confidently play your shot knowing that your ball will (or should - as you still have to execute the shot) land back in play or where you intended it to go.

3. Analyze your round after the game by using the built in statistics available in most GPS models.

4. Distances from where you are to varying parts of the course and hole in play. This includes the overall length of the hole, the distance to the beginning and end of the fairway. Distances to hazards, both to reach and to carry the hazard, as well as distances to the front, centre and back of the green. All this information is extremely useful and time saving. No more measuring out or guessing of distances. Most Golf GPS models are accurate to within a couple of yards.

5. Get to know how far you hit the ball with each club. A lot of players who have been using a GPS for golf say that this can be quite a humbling experience. Believing that they hit a driver (or any club) a certain distance and then discovering that they in fact don’t hit it that far seems to amaze them. Truth is most amateurs think they hit the ball further than they do.

6. Gain confidence. Knowing the distance that you hit each club gives you an incredible amount of confidence when playing. No longer do you have to worry about a three quarter or “between clubs” shot. This alleviates tension and allows for a smooth swing. Ever wondered why the pros seem to know exactly which club to use and get the distances exactly right? Their caddies are paid to know exactly how far it is to the pin, what clubs they hit that distance and to advise the player accordingly - exactly the information you will get from using a GPS for golf.

7. Play anywhere any time with confidence. If playing at a strange course for the first time or a course that you do not play that often - such as when you are on holiday - you have the advantage of not having to worry about distances. Most GPS models come preloaded with a number of local courses or courses can be downloaded as required. In addition you can ‘map’ or plot your own points on every hole and so customize your GPS specifically for your own use.

8. Shoot lower scores and reduce your handicap. A lot of people who use a GPS for golf say that they have shaved shots off their rounds from the very first time they use a GPS. Quite simply a GPS takes a lot of tension out of the equation and this definitely makes for better scoring.

For me using a GPS when playing golf it’s cool! Happy GPS & Bye!

The Most Popular Golf GPS

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Subscribe to Global Positioning System at AboutClock.com

Personally I think this will depend on your budget. Certainly the iGolf Neo is a brilliant little model that will do what you need it to do. But it doesn’t have a colour screen, will not keep your score and does not keep your statistics. You can however determine how far you hit each club. The models that fall into the ‘most popular’ category would include the following (in no particular order):

• iGolf Neo
• iGolf Caddie II
• Golf Guru
• Sonocaddie XV2
• Sonocaddie V300
• Skycaddie 2.5, Skycaddie 3, Skycaddie 4 and Skycaddie 5.
• Golf Buddy Plus
• Garmin Golf Logix GPS 8
• Sure Shot
• uPro.

When selecting a Golf GPS you need to write down the features you want, how much you are prepared to pay for these features and then compare apples with apples.

With Golf GPS for sure your game can be fun. Happy GPS & Bye!

What Is The Best Golf GPS Ideal For You?

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Subscribe to Global Positioning System at AboutClock.com

Other things to consider when determining what the best golf GPS on the market is for you include:
1. Your budget.
The price of dedicated golf GPS models range from $149.95 up to $500.00. However some software is available for use on your mobile phone. This is usually free or a lot cheaper.

2. Annual fee.
Some companies offer an annual fee which entitles you to certain benefits. Some don’t have an annual plan at all and others are compulsory.

3. Where can the GPS be used?
Just about all of them can be used anywhere in the world whilst there are one or two that cater only for the North American market.

4. How large is the course library from which to download courses?
Most are pretty extensive and all companies are happy to plot courses on request. As such these libraries are growing daily.

5. How easy is the GPS to use?

6. What is it power source and how long will a full charge last?
This can vary quite a lot from model to model. It is important to know you won’t run out of power before completing your round.

7. The accuracy of the given distances.
This is determined by the method of mapping and by the number of satellites that the unit can access. However most models are accurate enough for the average golfer.

8. Customer service.
This is an important issue and one that should not be overlooked. In a highly competitive market if the company is not looking after you when you need assistance it may be time to change.

The following are just some of the features that can be found on today’s golf GPS models:

1. Digital scorecards holding a multiple number of player’s scores in each round. No more concerns about those soggy cards on wet weather days.
2. Plotting individual points not previously mapped.
3. Colour screens.
4. Recording personal statistics such as fairways and greens in regulation, putts per round etc. for later analysis.
5. Shot distance feature which tells you exactly how far you hit each club in your bag.
6. Number of courses that can be stored on the unit itself. This ranges from 5 to an incredible 20,000.
7. Incredibly clear graphics. One model even offers a video flyover view - its like sitting in a helicopter and flying over the hole.
8. Sophisticated software to show the exact outline of the green. In some cases you can even “move” the pin on the green to give and even closer reading than the standard ‘front, center or back’ of green readings.
