Just bought an SG5 today ...

loaded up 6 courses on it ... gonna take it out tomorrow and test it out. Playing in the Michigan Amateur qualifier in 2 weeks at a pretty good course. Also going to be playing in 3 or 4 other tournaments this year.

I'm tired of "guesstimating" the yardages based off of sprinklers, etc.

Please try and post your review!

I am in the same boat as you now but don't know if it will change the game for me for the better or worse.

I have the SG2.5 and love it. Would be interested in what lead you to your decision to get the 5 instead of the 2.5? From my research the only difference was the larger and color display.

Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to...

you'll love it. I have the 2.5 and have only played 2 rounds with it but it is ridiculously accurate. Now if only my game was as accurate...

Decided to jump to the top of the line one and not "Wonder". I wondered how the 2.5 screen would be in bright sunny days.

I have had one for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I have found that the sprinkler head distances are not that accurate. Plus when you are way left or right where there are no sprinkler heads then you would have to guess at a distance without it. It is great for laying up, carrying a bunker or hazard, carrying into a particular shelf on the green, etc... The only thing I wish is that it could somehow account for slope...but then I guess it would be illegal in tournament play. I highly recommend it!! I have the SG5 by the way. I wanted the color display and I got it at a good price.

Kind of a silly question, but...

What's a Skycaddie, and what does it do?

In my bag:

R540 Driver
Stan Thompson "Ginty" 5 wood
Burner LCG 3-PW, SW, LW putter (mallet) and golf balls

It's a golf GPS. It will give you the yardage to certain spots on the hole (bunker, front green, pin, back green, etc) so that you will know what club to use. It basically is an electronic caddy that tells you how far to hit it to carry a water hazard or to lay up or how far to hit the green.

Why did you choose skycaddie? Did you look at any of the Bushnell range finders?

      Wordle 1,645 3/6* ⬛🟦⬛⬛🟦 🟦⬛⬛🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 There is a group I know that posts their results on Facebook whenever they solve in 1 or 2 guesses. I asked one how they were so successful and evidently there is one type that provides word clues. Never seen it, but that could enhance your chances!

      Day 445 - 2025-12-19 Hit some balls at AMGC today before getting on a flight and driving back to home through some not-so-awesome weather. The backswing is starting to feel pretty good. I have to clean up the knees a little.

      Does Anyone Else Use a Staff Bag?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I unknowingly ordered what would sort of be considered a staff bag. It is the 14 divider version of the Titleist staff bag and was stated on the website to be a staff bag "light" (Titleist Tour Premium Cart Stadry), but it is pretty big. Love it though.

      Day 39 (19 Dec 25) - weekly men’s group shootout today - we had as a “fifth” in our foursome the course teaching pro.  With the solid winds playing havoc, it was great having him to offer insight and counsel on what to take into to account. Mind you, he did not recommend specific club but rather to what consider and how to plan.  What a great day for course management education at the next level.
