Ok so there is a new concept in the way golfers are starting to look at golf gps rangefinders when they are deciding which one to opt for, instead of looking at the rangefinder and then deciding they are starting to think in more detail about which unit there golf is suitable for.

For example a golfer that is only an entry level golfer would now focus on what their game needs to be improved, whereas a more competitive golfer that plays in comps will approach the decision from the point of view that they are looking for a competition friendly device.

So lets take a look at the different types of golfers and their needs-

Harry is an entry level golfer who has only played golf for a couple of months, hes keen to get to grips with distances on the course but as he’s only been playing for a short time doesn’t want to spend too much, Harry asks what unit will suit him and give him a good game. For someone in Harry’s predicament we recommended two units-either the Bushnell neo plus, which is a very impressive and cheap for the technology or the skycaddie refurbished sg5. Both units are not too much of a financial investment for those that have only just started to enjoy golf.

Margery has played golf for several years but has not got a good grip on technology, she is looking for a sound piece of kit that will also be ok to use in the rain as she’s not a fair-weather golfer and isn’t afraid of getting a bit of rain in her hair. We gave Margery some advice over the phone and decided that as she’s not too keen on using the computer a great device for her that is also weather friendly would be the GOLF BUDDY WORLD this unit is so easy to use and get up and running you could literally do it all with your eyes shut. As Margery was also worried about having to dowload courses the golf buddy world also ticks all the boxes as it comes with all course already on the unit.

Edward was a golfer who is near the top of his game, he is very gadget friendly and looking for a piece of golfing kit that’s as good looking as the other gadgets in his bag, mainly an Ipod touch and an apple mac. Edward wasn’t too bothered about budget but did stress that as hes so familiar with the joystick and touch technology he didn’t want to have to keep changing format. For Edward the unit that came to mind for us for its good looks and high level of technology, plus joystick control was the formidable skycaddie sgx. This unit looks and performs on spec with the apple collection so its perfect for those like Edward that want a high spec unit that will impress friends.

Were sure you will see that there are several different levels of golf gps units on the market depending on what your looking for in terms of how you perform on the course, from entry level to high end there are golf gps units that can help all golfers.

We all know many Britons don’t expect Andy Murray to lift the trophy this week but how can you equal his success if he does and become the king of the golfing world?

Well we feel its not about just natural flair and talent but alot is based around your actual ability to stop and analyse your game, thats why like millions of golfers we have been so captivated by the creation of golf gps devices.

Just as Andy Murray is able to choose from a selection of rackets before he hits the course in the golfing world golfers can choose from a wide collection of golf gps devices- from international brands to classic well established favourites there are many golf gps device brands to choose from.

Whilst Andy Murray may favour the Wilson and Adidas brands we feel many golfer like Poulter have chosen classics from the golfing world like the Bushnell golf gps device range, this collection is ever changing and indeed Bushnell have released  on of the most highly regarded golf gps devices to date in the form of the combined golf gps and golf laser technologies- the Bushnell Hybrid is a new arrival into our collection and has been flying off the virtual shelves of our store.

Benefitting from taking on golf from a whole new perspective the rangefinders job is to be your personal caddy and course planner. Equipped with enough software to store thousands of courses the GPS units role is to provide you with a hawk like view of each and every hole on the course. By providing you with the exact yardage you can plan your shots more accurately and will find your handicap improving in no time.

So how exactly does a golf rangefinder work, well for starters they emit a laser beam that will focus on an object and then the range finder appraises the distance in the time it will take for the laser beam to bounce back from the subject and return to the rangefinder.

Basically what the golf rangefinder allows a golfer to do is accurately snipe their way to the hole. The golf rangefinder presents the distance instantly and far quicker than if you use a course planner.

Many rangefinders also provide you spot-on distance even if the target is blocked by any debris (leaves) or any other hazard present on the golf courses. Golf rangefinders are a necessary accessory for almost any golfer. A few of the improved rangefinders that are available will give you 1 yard exactness for approximately 1500 yards distance.
