Hey blue crush, timely thread . . . i just bought a SkyCaddie the SG2 for $329 plus $29.95 for the basic download package.
Took it out on the course today . . . i heard that the first time you try and use it you may struggle with your game, too much on your mind etc . . . well this is right, my game went in the toilet.

But later in the round i began to settle in a bit with the device and it is very helpful for iron approaches and very accurate. For me with terrible eyesight i always stuggle with yardage distances, so SkyCaddie will really help.

But off the tee, it may cloud your mind with too much info about bunkers and carry and end of fairway, etc. so i may just use it for iron approaches.

There were a lot of glitches but i believe that once you get used to it, it will be a big help.

you bring up something else I wondered about too
and that was the size of the screen.....
for me with my phone sometime I have to
pull out my cheaters to see the sm print....
I surely don't want to have to carry a set
of cheaters to see the screen....
and I'm guessing its not in color,so
how easy was it to see the display in the sunlight....???
thanks...

the screen is very easy to read . . . it has a default feature called Big# which displays the yardage to the center of the green in real big numbers.

You can switch out of this mode to the Pro mode which shows you the yardage to the front, middle, and back of the green and enables you to move the flag around to where it is positioned on that day and get accurate yardage, but the numbers are small and for someone who is far-sighted this could be an issue.

As far as seeing the numbers in the sun, yea, i was worried about this too, but it was no problem. I know cell phones can be a problem in the sun but the SkyCaddie has perfect clarity in full sun.

If you are far-sighted you can use it, just keep it in the Big# mode.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
