Hi everyone just thought I'd check with you all, I'm in the UK and have just bought a Skycaddie SGX off a guy from eBay, met up seemed like nice fella tried to register on line and couldn't , rang Skycaddie and it had been registered as lost! Anyway they tell me to ring back the next day and see what they can do about registering the device, my question is do you find it strange that they ate closed over weekends and holidays? It strikes me as really wierd as most people play their golf, and therefore I would think that's when most calls would be made??? Does anyone else think this is strange? Or is it different in the States? Also does anyone think Skycaddie will be able to let me register the device or not, the guy I bought it off said he bought it from someone else in good faith and can't get in touch with them.

I've posted to the skycaddie message board on their website when I've had problems and had a fast and exceptional response from them.

Sorry to inform you but this will be a problem for you. I went through the same exact issue last year. I bought an sgx from a guy on Craigslist and it turned out to be reported as "lost" as well. I reached out to skycaddie and after many calls and many attempts they said the ONLY way I would be able to use the device was if the registered owner released the device. At the end I opted to give skycaddie my information and have the registered owner contact me so I can return it. When the registered owner emailed me I explained to him the situation and I emailed him the posting and d-bags contacts info from which I bought the device from. I offered to return it but asked for a small portion of what I paid so I wouldn't take a complete loss. He actually had insurance on it and already had another replacement sgx so he was kind enough to call skycaddie to release the device. Then and only then I was able to register the device. Best of luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for the info, I've been in touch with the guy I bought it off and explained to him I couldn't register it and he is willing to give me my money back if I can't sort it out. Apparently he bought it in good faith off someone else etc etc, I think I will just get my money back and buy a new one. Thanks again though for letting me know about you having the same problem it's saved me some problems:-)

Hi all, just thought I'd let you all know the outcome of the SGX. I managed to get my money from the guy I bought it from off eBay which I was really surprised about. Im now the proud owner of a brand new SGX, it arrived today and I can't wait to get out there and use the full potential of the device, and see if it really can save some shots. The problem I believe is the person hitting them ha:-D

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
