Whistler Golf Digest GLF-125, works well enough, hasn't really led me astray yet. It was only like 35 dollars and I got 5 courses free, I only ever really play  2 different places but have used it on 3.

Garmin Approach G5 (the earlier model of the G6), and it's the best I've seen.  I've used two different lasers and 2 different GPS receivers, and been with guys who used just about everything out there, and I prefer mine to anything I've seen.  Fast, accurate, 30,000 course data base and no subscriptions, great features.

Some don't like it because it uses two AA batteries instead of recharging, but I bought it because it doesn't need a charger.  With a charger, I either have a dead unit in my bag because I forgot to charge it, or I have a fully charged unit still plugged in at home when I get to the course.  With AA lithium batteries, I keep 4 fresh ones in the bag, and I get about 7 rounds per pair, so that's not much of a cost to always have the unit ready to go.  If I do forget to put new batteries in the bag, I can pick them up anywhere.

Been using the Bushnell Neo for 6 months now and i like it. Don't wear it on my wrist though. Either i strap it onto my push cart handle or i hang it off my bag if i'm in a cart. Going to try starting to wear it on my right hand to see if that works. Its the watch/glove thing that bothers me with my left hand. Btu overall the GPS is nice. Front, MId and back of greens and hazards is about 90% of what i need to get through a course. A rare blind landing area on a course you never played before and the watch is pretty much useless.

Regards,

I picked up a Garmin G3 at the beginning of 2013 for a bit under $150.  It is accurate enough for my game (+ or - 2 yards), easy to use and there are no additional costs after purchase.

Golf Buddy clipped onto my visor.

Just hit the button and she tells me the yardage to the front, center or back of the green.

No need to read anything. Just listen.

$120.00 on Amazon and every course is available.

'Golfshot GPS' app best £20 I spent on golf. Great picture quality, no subscription and I can track my scores. I'm wondering though about getting a range finder, would be useful for the range as well as course, plus I think some of the give elevation??

    • There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please. 
    • Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).
    • Day 2 (3 May 24) - Played 18 with the Men’s group today….a fun round in which my elderly neighbor was part of the foursome I was in.  
    • You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
    • Did LIV pros cross ‘etiquette’ line at Masters? 3-time major winner has thought Did LIV Golf pros cross an “etiquette” line last month at the Masters? Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington has a thought. I do not mind cursing. I rather see some emotion on the course and honest reactions to bad shots or what not. I didn't catch it being a TON of cursing in this Masters. It was not noticeable.
