Hey guys i know that there have been a bunch of GPS threads on here but with new devices coming out all the time i wanted to see what people thought was the best one. Seems like most people think Sky Caddie is the best but the drawback being that it requires a $30 fee per year. I don't play any one course very often, i play a bunch of different courses every year - so i don't think that i'll need to map additional points like i would if i had a regular "home" course. Basically i just want something that will give me front, center and back of green distances and lay-up/carry distances for hazards. What do you think?

I bought the iGolf Neo http://www.igolf.com/ about 3 months ago and have been really happy with it. It does not have all the bells and whistle, but it is small so it fits nicely in my pocket and the price is much better than most out there, $149. There is a subscription of $35 but the nice thing is you get 100 course downloads and once you download them you own them forever. Right now I have downloaded about 25 courses, so just before the year is up I will download any course I may ever want to play and then cancel the renewal.

The unit gives you the center, front back and up to 4 other marks per hole, so you might have a right side bunker, water etc for any hole. It is really easy to use and the battery life is phenomenal. They say it can go 4 full rounds on one charge. I have done 9 holes and it still shows 95 or 100%.

I highly recommend checking this one out. Great bang for the buck.

I have the uPro and like it a lot. It may be more expensive than what you're looking for and have more features than you need. They also just released the latest software update. No yearly membership either.

Ditto that.

I posted a review here: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthr...highlight=upro Pretty soon I'll add a post to include the new software update (which is awesome, BTW) E

do you get a hole fly through with the Upro, if so do you get it with every course or just ones they have the image for.

Also what are they like time wise for processing a course that is not already done?

I've been looking at a new product called Shotmiser. http://www.shotmiser.com saw a review for it whilst in England.

They do do courses in florida and many other states the software looks pretty good too. Giving you stats at the end of your game, includes digital score card and you can set your handicap in Shotmiser.


I may put in a call to see when they'll be shipping to the US, says on their website UK shipping but to contact them for US shipping

Check out the review thread, I think you'll find the answers there.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      It probably wouldn't matter if he stood on one foot — if he was still for a second, the water would likely recede and not be visible.

      The rules can t cover every possible situation, this one is reasonably clear.  How would you rewrite it to fairly cover the situation you ask, and would it be better or more consistently understood? I think the announcers saw spray from the practice swings, and ASSUMED that there must be standing water there.  But wet turf will produce spray.  And of course Faxon was a tour player, so he views it from a players standpoint.  But players often don't understand the rules really well.  Its a shame they didn't get an actual rules expert at that moment, we know the USGA had people available.

      Fair enough. By wiggly I just mean the bit about stepping hard or the like doesn't count. Like, what if the player says they plan on playing the lie with massive weight on the front foot and ball back in the stance to try ensure no bounce interaction to prevent the club getting sucked into the soggy turf before the ball, and it's only with ~80% of weight on the front foot that you can see water? But I was more wondering what the announcers were complaining about?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Grizvok · Posted

      Day 5 - extremely long range practice session. Probably one of my best practice sessions ever. Doing things in slow motion is like 5x'ing the effectiveness of the practice. Also, I need these same "falling into lead leg" feels on my wedges. And guess what? Practicing this feel on shorter wedges is ALSO EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE. Combining much slower than full speed practice with shorter (50-90 yard) shot practice was really good. Change the picture on these shorter shots first. Feel like I'm keeping my arms as straight as possible on the backswing while hinging my wrists earlier is an incredible feel. I feel like this is doing stuff to my sequencing somehow? Much less rushed at the top because hinging was done at a reasonable time? One note someone made on my swing thread before I went on a hiatus was regarding this so I played around with it.  Clubs that don't require as much weight/pressure shift feel fantastic (driver/3-wood/hybrid), but that's almost always been the case.
