So this is my first shot at selling something on the forum. I was going to list it on EBay, but figured I'd give Trappers first crack.

For sale is a black Garmin Approach S1 GPS golf watch. I recently purchased a Bushnell laser rangefinder and haven't used the watch since. This unit has been used for approximately 10 rounds and is in perfect working order. Also, I've never worn it as a watch during play (personal preference), just kept it clipped to my bag for easy access. Included is the watch itself and the charger. I've never sold anything online, but will setup a paypal account for the transaction if there's an interest.

Looks like these retail for $200 online....I'll cover shipping expense as well.

Here's the description from the Garmin site:

Approach S1 combines a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with a lightweight, flexible sport watch. It is ready to go right out of the box with thousands of preloaded courses covering the U.S. or Canada. You can measure individual shot distances and track how far you walk on the course. Approach S1 - or S1W, the white version - is golf’s first full-featured sports watch and golf GPS in one.

Approach S1 will have you dialed in like a pro by providing yardages to the front, back and middle of the green. The sunlight-viewable screen features large numbering for at-a-glance visibility. S1 also measures precise yardages for shots played from anywhere on the course. And for those who like to walk, there’s the S1 odometer to tell you how far you traveled — on the course or off.

Approach S1 is ready to go right out of the box with thousands of preloaded courses for the U.S. and Puerto Rico or Canada. Best of all - there is no need for subscriptions or additional setup — S1 is ready to tee off right out of the box.

Have the Canada version and need to travel to the U.S.? No problem, you can load U.S. courses for free online . Same thing with the U.S. version - you can switch to Canadian maps for free.

Fitted for course playability, S1 also functions as an everyday watch. There’s an alarm and rechargeable lithium ion battery, and S1 sets its time and time zone automatically.

In the bag:

    • Couple of things. In the UK they play a lot of stableford competitions. 2 points for a net par, 1 for a bogey, 3 for a birdie, 4 for an eagle, 0 for a double bogey or worse. Playing to your handicap typically means getting 36 points, being 18 x 2 points. If your course rating is a long way different from par, then playing to your handicap would mean getting 32 points or 40 points or some such. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that input from the R&A is the reason for the CR-Par adjustment, which brings it to 36 points is playing to your handicap. A round of net pars really should be playing to your handicap. Now it is. Yay. I would think the people most likely to be upset about the CR-Par adjustment would be 6 or 7 indexes whose course is par 72, with a 74/140 rating. 6.5 x 140/113 + 74 - 72 = 10. So the "single figure" golfer who has probably defined himself that way for a long time is now a 10 and getting double digit strokes. Oof. I must admit I'm a 0.0 right now (sure makes the math easy) and if I play Bethpage Black from the blues, suddenly I'm a 7. That takes a little bit of getting used to. It also means I do have to pay attention to the stroke indices to be sure of whether I'm making the net double bogey adjustment properly.  I do think it's much less likely that NDB is applied properly vs the old system where it was max double bogey or max 7 depending on handicap (I think anyway - I know it was max double bogey at my handicap level - I didn't much care about where it changed or what it changed to). NDB is clearly better, but it does mean people either have to adjust it themselves accurately (questionable) or input their hole by hole scores (also questionable). I do it, because I care about it (and don't tend to make too many scores worse than double and also rarely play courses where I'm giving strokes back to the course and would therefore have max bogey on some holes). I'm sure there are many who don't and will just guess or assume. Under the old system, if I was playing a scratch tournament (which is most of my golf), I didn't care what my course handicap or stroke allocations were. They didn't affect my posted scores at all. Now they do (although the MGA and LIGA post all scores at their events themselves directly - something I am very happy about). That is a complication under the new system - one I think is worth it given the benefits, but a complication all the same.
