SkyCaddie and Canadian Courses

[Golden]

I can find the courses I play in their find courses, does anyone know if they are really mapped to used with the gps or just a search result of existing golf courses (other manufacturer returns the course but say they (for the most part) not mapped).

Thank you.

I am a member at clublink and I was at my home course when they were driving around in a golf cart mapping the course. I believe there are other ways where players can somewhat map out their course themselves, however for most part I believe they are mapped by SkyCaddie or whoever they use.

Thanx for the reply,

I just want to make sure that the courses I play (at least the one I play most often) are mapped (I don't want to do it myself).

I did ask them...but no answer yet.

Being from Ottawa, I'm sure you wish the snow melt quickly :)

I am dieing here!! Can't wait for the golf season to start. Barring a large snow dump, some warm weather should get us going pretty quickly. You must be in the same boat as well.

Golden..being from Montreal, I can't wait for the snow to melt either!

I saw them mapping at my course (Caughnawaga). I got stuck playing behind the guy walking all over the place. He stalled us for about 15 minutes per hole. Let me tell you the walk-through is very thorough.

That's why I don't want to do it myself :)
And I wanna be sure the course is mapped before I buy one of these.

Lucky for you, you will play well before me, because in Quebec, there is always a lot of snow as you probably know.

[Quinn07]

Well you may as well venture down here and play a little once the season opens.

I've been to Ottawa a lot of times (but never for golf :( at least not yet ;) )

Just to post a follow up, I just bought the skycaddie and the answer is yes the course in my region are almost all mapped. In the find courses on the skygolf website, if the course has 1 star it means it was mapped by someone (only green information are in) if the course has 4 stars or maybe up (this I don't know) it means this was done by the skygolf staffs.


Now let the snow melt.

Good golf to everyone.

A friend of mine has one of those GPS devices ( don't know the brand/model though ), and he was telling me that there's not a lot of Courses mapped yet (he was probably talking about the ones he usually plays...) , but the number keeps increasing as the Gps devices gain popularity. I know for sure Les 4 domaines is mapped , that's where i discovered how practical that thing is!

Patience , fellow montrealers and canadians...the snow is melting...slowly ... but it's melting!

We got snow in Vancouver today! In March! If anyone should be able to hit the courses soon is should be us first :)
