GPS - shot tracking/average club distance

[pkdude]

Is there a GPS unit available that will track the distance of each shot and the club used so that one can summarize over time the distance for each club? if not, is there software that can be added to existing GPS units?

I have a Golf Logix gps and it has a feature to measure shot distance. A button on the side, you hit the button after you take the shot, go to the ball, and it tells you exact yardage. For example a good drive that I want a measurement on, I hit the button when I put the driver back in the bag (gps is in case clipped to golf bag), drive cart to ball, and it reads 273 yards. I have really enjoyed this feature. Great way to get exact yardage on how far you hit a 7 iron, gap wedge, etc.. For averages, you would just need to write down the yardage and average it of course. But seeing gap wedge measurements of 97, 101, 100, 106, etc.. makes it pretty easy to see that a gap goes just over 100 yards. Seven irons, measure a few over the round, see #'s like 149, 154, 152, etc.. and it is easy to know when to hit this club. Great tool.

Below is a link to info on the unit I have, but if anyone is wanting to buy it, get it from Amazon. Like $240 on Amazon, $299 on the Golf Logix website and other online retailers. Also, like 250 four star reviews on Amazon you can read over if considering a purchase. Awesome unit.

will this unit also store the club associated with each shot and its distance

[Danattherock]

No. It is a "measure shot distance" feature. You hit the button, then go to the ball. It measure the distance of the shot. No info is stored inside the device.

I would think the drive starts at the tee box not the bag location, i mark my shot from the tee box. (I have an Skycaddie)

[pkdude]

so is there a unit (or add on software) that can store distance and club used for each shot?

I was assuming one parks the cart beside the tee box.

Golf guru allows tracking of shots and selecting the club and lie. It currently does allow playback at the end of the round. There are no stats or graphics or average per club information.

I generally only track the distance -- I track club/distance/fairways/etc using my PDA while on the course using Intelligolf. It does all that averaging, etc.

I can't imagine the benefit. There are too many variables. Wind, slope, lie, etc.

Seems that the "On Par" gps keeps track of distnace and club. Has anyone used this unit?
