I have a UPro GPS that I bought last September. I've only had a chance to use it several times due to the long winter here in Michigan. I really like the unit and got it ready for my first round of the season. I started to have some issues and now the unit is dead.

The UPro GPS has a six month warranty, which mine expires next week. So I called their customer service to see about a warranty claim. The guy from UPro asks me to try a couple of thing but still no luck. So he says they're going to go ahead and send me a brand new unit using 2 day air. They're going to include a pre-paid box to send the old unit back in. I was almost shocked how helpful they were. I just didn't expect it to be that easy. I'm also leaving town on Saturday for a golf trip and the new unit should be here in time. Kudos to Callaway and UPro customer service.

It's nice to read positive experiences instead of the constant beat of the negative drum. It seems like any product reviews you read nowadays are, at best, 80% positive.

I may be in the market for a GPS (assuming I don't win the Leupold GX) in a year or so. I'll keep this in mind.

I just bought a uPro & used it for the first time yesterday. It works perfect....tells you all the distances you need at a glance. The unit is so small & light I kept it in my pocket while I swung with no problems.

I used to use a Bushnell 1500 rangefinder....but this GPS is 100% better!

Do you have to "calibrate" these instruments....or do you take 'em out of the box...download the course and they are dead nuts accurate?

Also...how long does the charge last on one?

No calibration needed....the upro works right out of the box.

I usually have more than 50% power after one round...so it would probably last 2 rounds per charge.

Took a look at these online and saw that all my courses were on there. Looks like a great unit.

Is the unit waterproof? What assesories do you recomend to get with it? Also...are you able to download course data, green dimensions and shape into your pc?

Dub - I believe it's water resistant. Rain drops probably won't hurt it but you wouldn't want to drop it in a lake.

I bought the rubber boot for it. I think that piece is worth it.

Can't transfer to your pc....yet. Probably could hack it out of there.

Cool. Those are handy units.

It's harder and hard to find marked distances on the courses. Many of our tee boxes on courses aren't.

The GPS units really speed things up.

I like how your unit shows the actual green layout...not just front/back/middle. The overhead view really shows what may be hidden from the eye.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
