I just did a title search for this product and I expected to find 25 threads and there isn't any real information about this product from those that have used it.

Has anyone actually used the Golf Buddy GPS system. It sounds very intriguing because of the no course download and I like the looks of the display on it.

Who has used this product?

I have it and it is great. Has a distance marking feature, has distances to bunkers and other major features on the hole. Good battery life too, doesn't run out after one round unless you leave it on. Distances can be +- 5-7 yds according to the course or whatever but usually dead on. Simple to use and you have pretty much all the features of a skycaddie on it, plus you don't have to pay a monthly fee.

- Its not the best one in the market, I have one before but now I use my Iphone, anyways, it comes with 20000 preloaded courses and you may use AAA batteries if you run out of it. I read uplay upro and i golf neo is better here http://budurl.com/golfgps , but the golf buddy GPS is a safe buy, because the new ones may not have data about your course

Any new info or advice people have on the Golf Buddy units ?

Looks like Golfsmith has the Golf Buddy Plus unit on sale from $349 down to $199.99.
Seems like a decent deal for not having to pay annual fees.
All my local courses are on there as well.

I never got any follow-up to my question back in Nov. I am ready to take the plunge and grab one of the cheaper GPS units under $150. The Golf Buddy Plus is now $149 at Golf Galaxy.

Was curious what people thought of it. I had considered the Bushnell/iGolf Neo however the course I play most is not on there. The Golf Buddy has all the courses I play. Hopefully people can provide some current feedback on this brand. Thanks, Eric

I read in the golf buddy pro manual that distances are calculated from tee box to green in a straight line. Which they say can make dogleg hole yardages inaccurate.
Say you lay up on a dog leg, will the unit then recalculate your distance from where you are back to the green ?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
