Golf GPS Units FAQ
Which golf rangefinder is MY golf good enough for? PDF Print E-mail

golf

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.

 
Can a woman actually play golf as well as a man?? Pga pro gives his opinion! PDF Print E-mail

So it’s a long fought over battle between men and women- who can actually play golf better and score a lower handicap out on the course more frequently.

Well instead of spending the weekend arguing it out at the golf club we decided to seek the advice of an experienced golf pga pro and his opinion may just shock you. Lets start with the basics, there are many women who are just as good at golf as their male counterparts and seem to keep their cool a lot more under pressure whilst men can be seen kicking the ground in anger.

Whats the secret to women staying cool, calm and collected whilst men seem to get more fired out on the course?Its not actually about the difference between the sexes at all but is more about the way the two genders approach golf from the onset.

For example woman are naturally keen to plan inadvance when they tee off and as such spend a lot longer thinking about what the course will look like before they actually start playing. With this in mind a lot of women golfers have choose to invest in technology which helps them make the most of their logical approach to the game from the onset.

So with women golfers a lot  have made the switch from a paper course planner across to the more user friendly golf gps device. This is a sound investment and all of the women golfers who seem to have bought a golf gps device has commented on its abailaty to improve their mood prior to the game as they know instantly what obstacles they will be facing out on the course so they don’t need to worry about getting hot under the collar once the real fun begins.

If your keen to relicate the ladys calm approach then maybe its time you started to think about buying a golf gps device and saw first hand how it can reduce your mood and help you get less fired up out on the course. Its actually amazing how much difference a golf gps device can make not only to your overall game but to the way you approach golf as a whole, so lets take a look at the collection of golf gps devices available and which ones are the best options for men of all ages-

So lets start off with the complete novice. If you are not too gadget wise then you will benefit from a unit that does not require alot of technology to get it up and running. This is where a surprising new contender from Golf buddy comes into play. The golf buddy world is a perfect example of a high spec golf gps unit that comes with all of the technical features such as high pixel screen, touch screen and yardage tech but does not require ANY installation at all. In fact this unit is so simple that you literally just flick a switch and you are ready to play.

Ok so now lets move onto the novice who has a slightly lower budget but still wants a high standard golf gps unit, perhaps many golfers are not aware that we also sell refurbished golf gps units from leading global brands such as Skycaddie. Yes we can help a novice golfer who wants all of the technical aspects of a more expensive unit get a great head start out on the course with the refurbished Skycaddie sg5. This unit is again a less expensive option, that we find those who are just beginning their journey into the golfing world are keen to buy. That way  you don’t have to worry that you are spending a fortune on a unit that when you may not consider golf to be a long term hobby.At just £128 this is an excellent unit that many novice golfers find actually encourages their love of the game.

As you will see there are many choices for both male and female golfers and they don’t need to cost a fortune!

 
Do you have to own a high IQ to use a Golf GPS unit?? PDF Print E-mail

Do you have to own a high IQ to use a Golf GPS unit??

It’s a common question amongst golfers, do you really have to be the brains of Britain to be able to get the old grey matter working and figure out your way around a new Golf GPS unit?? Some old fashioned golfers have a strong belief that you have to possess a certain rate of IQ to be able to switch on and use a Golf gps unit.  The good news is that with today’s range of user friendly units from the likes of bushnell, Skycaddie and Golfbuddy you don’t have to enroll on an IT course to be able to get your unit set up and ready to make use of on the course.

So what is it that seems to put people off about the new range of Golf gps units on the market? Well as mentioned many old School golfers have wrongly assumed that the  new found gadgets will come with scores of buttons that tired old hands will find hard to master. In reality most units from the top selling companies actually are relatively easy to use, and are switched on with one simple click.

Many golfers with less knowledge of technology that we speak to are concerned that they will experience problems when they try to set up and get their unit up and going, we are pleased to confirm that each unit from the leading brands Bushnell and Golf buddy come with thousands of courses already uploaded so you literally switch on a button find your course and are all set to play.

When it comes to new technology some golfers are put off by the idea that they will be in someway classed as a cheat if they make use of new technology, however we are pleased to confirm that the majority of Golf gps units from the leading brands are now classed as legal for tournament and tour use.

So now you know you don’t need the IQ of a top rate boffin to make use of a golf gps unit there really is no reason why you shouldn’t start benefitting from using one today!!

Do only nerds play golf?? PDF Print E-mail

nerd_alert-13809

This is a common myth amongst many that presume the stereotypical image of a golfer is one who sits around watching countdown and ironing their pleated trousers, but is today’s golfer really any different from the long held stereotypical presumption of old.

Well we have delved deap into the golfing world and have raised some interesting points that we are keen to share with golfers and non golfers across the globe.

So how do you identify a golfer? Well one long held belief is that golfers can quickly be spotted by their attire, this usually comprises of pleated Stromberg trousers and a pringle knit triangular patterned jumper. But you may be surprised to discover that the average young golfers milling around the bar at your local club house are actually a lot more trendy when it comes to the old slacks and pima cotton jumper than one may expect.

By stepping back in time and heading out on the course you will be surprised to find that nowadays the golfing community is rife with hot young things clad in designer gear.

What else has changed about the golfing world then? Well one of the biggest changes that has been duly noted is the introduction of modern technology to the sport. Were not talking about the old school golf carts here, nope were concentrating more on the newly approved golf gps units. These funky devices are seen clipped neatly onto almost every golfers sleek new trolley this decade.

So we hope you can see now that golfers are not all nerds. Its not all about jumpers, trousers and wigs on the golf course.

golf-buddy-platinum-gps_2

The golf buddy world platinum unit has sprung up as one of the leading contenders in the golf world.

This news wont come as a shock to many as the brand has support from global ambassadors across the globe. Indeed the scandal hit Tiger woods has been papped head to toe in his beloved Nike sports gear with a golf buddy fixed to his trolley.

The unique products that golf buddy have been keen to share with the world include an entry level gps system named the tour, however Golf buddy quickly recognized the need to launch a more highly equipped rangefinder that covers all areas. It seems one of the most profitable aspects of the Golf Buddy is the fact it comes pre loaded with all the courses you could possibly need. Hank picked to impress even the most fussy golfer these courses can be obtained via the Golf buddy in the click of a button. Highlights that have proved to be the most popular appears to be the sleek black body which resists even the most harsh conditions. Put simply the Golf buddy world platinum not only looks great but is bursting at the seams with the very latest technology.

Players can switch easily to yardages mode and get an instant and clear numerical display of distance to the green, or select Targets mode and see a panel containing distances to and to carry all hazards ahead. Around the green, Dynamic Green Approach provides exact distances to the front, middle and back of the green directly from the angle of approach and shows the actual shape of the green, while the Touch ’N’ Move Flag lets golfers position the pin anywhere on the green to calculate exactly how much room they have to play with.

Alongside its innovative Pro Play system – allowing golfers to track, record and analyse their own playing statistics, including greens and fairways hit in regulation and number of putts per hole, storing the data in the device or on your computer via the simple GolfBuddy Manager software – GolfBuddy World Platinum has been developed with and to meet the exacting course management standards of some of the world’s best Tour coaches, including Denis Pugh and Rick Smith. 

 The GolfBuddy World Platinum boasts a sleek and edgy design but has been manufactured to withstand the rigours of the golf course, with a rugged lithium-ion battery, shock and water resistant casing with impact-shielding side bumpers and a high tech rubber coating.
