The golf buddy world is a new season take on the golf buddy world platinum and is one that is set to really make its mark on golfers in the 2012 golfing season. The golf buddy world is one of the most innovative products from the golf buddy brand and with heaps of unique features there are some real eye catching specs on the golf buddy world which will leave you delighted all golf season long.

So what does the golf buddy world hold over other golf gps units on the scene and why is it the only golf gps unit to put in your kit bag this season?Read onto see more about why the golf buddy world is an eyecatching piece of kit that will leave golfers smiling all round long.

So lets break down the golf buddy world and take a look at it from the cosmetic angel that is one of the key reasons its so popular with golfers from  a wide range of backgrounds, from the lady golfer to the junior golfer the golf buddy world is a massive hit.The golf buddy world is renowned for being the only slimline golf gps unit on the market, which makes it perfect for slipping into the pocket and getting out on the go.

The GolfBuddy World GPS rangefinder is a slimmer version of the World Platinum model and is therefore much easier to slip into your pocket if you want to. It also comes with a bag clip so you have the choice which is ideal as the Platinum is really too bulky for this. The screeen of the GolfBuddy World is facrtionally smaller than the Platinum but is a LCD screen which is clear enough even in bright light. In addition there are also a couple of navigation buttons under the screen on the World instead of a full touchscreen control which some may prefer.

The World uses the same TFT touchscreen as the other models and this is OK without being as good as an iPhone for instance and those with chubby bloke sized fingers may find it a little frustrating to move a flag on the green or work out a lay up distance. However using a tee or the larger menu buttons and screen icons is fine and the GolfBuddy World gives you everything you need.

Apart from the size the other main difference with the World version is that it can only store one round of statistics at a time on the unit and if you want to leep them then you have to upload them to your PC using the GolfBuddy Manager software. This is good in some ways as the data is secure if you were to ever lose the unit, but it can be a hassle plugging it in all the time, especially as it comes with an unusual usb connector that does not use the standard or micro usb fittings that most devices use at the unit end so you have to take this cable with you wherever you go.

As you will see the golf buddy world is the ideal unit for golfers of all handicaps and with alot of high tech features on board you will find it lowers your handicap in no time at all.
