Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG5 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our
professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more information
than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is
selected on the graphical green outline, it provides the minimum
carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back
of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of
the approximate location. All three distances are provided
simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You
can then frame your in a much larger target area and select
the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts
than a single number can provide.

Staying Linked in on the Links

your very own PGA-quality caddie. These little electronic wonders
have evolved a great deal since the USGA deemed them legal for
tournament play in 2005. Most models these days can provide you
with quick and accurate information regarding distance to the
hole and other targets and hazards; length of prior s (often
storable for future reference); course layout; distance to the
front, middle, and back of the green; and more.
With a wide range of golf GPS device, feature, and subscription
choices available on the market today, finding one that's right
for you can be like finding the middle of the fairway when the
winds are swirling. .com has put together a list of the top GPS
units and their key specifications, below, to help you select
