My new SkyCaddie "SG3"...Review

[bcp]

I am very pleased with my skycaddie 3. Glad I didn't go with the 4. My friend who has the 4 is having trouble keeping a charge on his battery, and my AAs are lasting 3 full rounds. Also it seems to be very accurate and reliable.

What did you pay for your sg3?

[bcp]

$299- they ain't cheap...

Thanks for the info bklynbenz, but check out this information I got from the USGA Rules of Golf:

yea thats the original rule but theres a revision to it, which these devices fall under (local rule).....

14-3/0.5 Local Rule Permitting Use of Distance-Measuring Device Q. May a Committee, by Local Rule, permit the use of distance-measuring devices? A. Yes. A Committee may establish a Local Rule allowing players to use devices that measure distance only. However, the use of devices that gauge or measure other conditions that might affect a player's play ( e.g., wind or gradient) is not permitted. In the absence of such a Local Rule, the use of a distance-measuring device would be contrary to Rule 14-3. (New) http://www.usga.org/playing/rules/bo...ons/dec14.html

Is anyone using a SkyCaddie under BootCamp (or Parallels) on an Mac? A friend of my boss bought a SkyCaddie without realizing that he couldn't use it on his Mac. So naturally I get asked about how to get it to work heh. I notice both SkyCaddie and GolfLogix promise Mac support in the near future (whereas SureShot actually says on their web page that Mac support is provided by using their Windows software under Parallels) but it seems that the alternative to telling this guy to return the unit is to suggest BootCamp and it'd be nice to hear that someone's using it this way before I recommend it.

I'm thinking about getting the SG2. Outside of the bigger LCD screen, it has the same features correct?

[golfchief]

Same features, SG3 has larger screen and has been waterproofed

Can you add custom points to any given hole with the Sky Caddie units?
