Well, I just ordered one. Being in IT, I love gadgets, but I know better never to buy the first version of anything new, but couldnt help myself here...

My plan is to sell my SG5 which still has a subscription until Sept. on ebay if the ONPAR is all it's supposed to be. I will be playing in Myrtle Beach in two weeks and will post a review on this thread.

It looks pretty cool!

I looked at the courses and many of the Myrtle Beach tracks are listed as N/A.

What does that mean?

Also, I think the club selector feature make it "illegal" as per the current USGA rules? That may not be an issue for you, but don't let your buddies know about it if you win any bets.

Hi tech for sure. I have a feeling the GPS market is about to explode! Watch for lots of new devices, with oodles of features.

just came in today, and it seems really sweet! I love all the features. I have a Bushnell Medalist range finder that I never use because its a hassle. Im thinking this might be alot easier.

Anyone actually have any first hand experience with an onpar?

I heard these onPar are run on windows (mobile OS) and prone to crashing, lag and all things related to MS windows.

It's basically a windows mobile device with a GPS chip overlaid with a GPS software. Not that great in my opinion.

Aside from that, limited available courses.

well it has all my local courses, so that part of it doesnt seem to be a big deal at all. Now I havent played with it yet on the course, but I can view all the courses I loaded and zoom in, see distances, etc. and it seems to work good so far... Ill keep my fingers crossed.

Has anyone else used/purchased this GPS device yet? I've used it for two rounds now, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. It's definitely rough around the edges, and needs work in terms of interface and course database, but the stat tracking and shot tracking is pretty cool. Also, I've learned how incorrect some of the course posted yardages can be. 158 yard par three became a 119 from the tee placement today. Definitely helps the mental game, I find myself swinging more aggressively knowing how far I am, and how far (on average, based on shot tracking) I hit each club.

Biggest drawback is the course database. But, great potential.

      Great Video on Practicing Like a Pro

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Very interesting stuff. My one thought that popped out at me is about Scottie Scheffler and the molded grip 7 iron. I would think the chance that it's one of the random ones you can buy from PGA Tour superstore or what have you is very unlikely. I would be astounded if that wasn't done custom for his exact grip, putting it rather out of reach of most of us. The thing about the foam rolling was very interesting. It's not something I've ever done before a lesson at the venue. If I'm feeling stiff or sore, I might do something with a foam roller at home, although even that is unlikely.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By Yukari · Posted

      Well, I am not surprised since the departure of Koepka and Reed.  Also Mickelson taking hiatus from golf hasn't helped any - albeit he is not much of a needle mover these days. Surprising is LIV hasn't offered any contract extension to Bryson as he seems to be the only marquee player they have at the moment.  Oh wait there is Dustin, Sergio, and ???  But these two guys haven't been doing much lately anyway.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 7, April 15.   I was so excited about the pelvis turn drills that I didn't work on the hip rotation drill from my latest Skillest lesson (oops!).  I worked on that today, using a cereal box.  I also continued to do some pelvis turn drills, in part because I'm doing some of it with all practice balls hit, and I wanted to hit some balls this morning too.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I was hoping to find an image of my Edel Putter in my swing thread here. I found the video of the 1st tee shot at Moon Valley from 2015.  Whooo man, that backswing, 🤣 Man, I had faster hips and more mobile hips back then. I could get the hips open prior to impact.
