Taking your golf rangefinder to the driving range is a must.  Every good golfer knows the average distance they hit with each club, this is crucial to a good golf game.  Your choice of club makes all the difference in your shot.  Why do you think the pro’s confer with their caddy’s about yardage before every swing?

I’ve found that I play faster when I play with my rangefinder.  I don’t waste time trying to find markers.  I know the exact distance for every shot and can choose my club accordingly.

Now you can get gps rangefinders for even more accurate results.  Using GPS technology just takes things to another level.

If you want to be a better golfer the golf rangefinder is a must have in your golf bag.

Several golf gps rangefinders on the market today are both affordable and accurate with many features that avid golfers might enjoy.  Choosing the best system for you is a matter of comparing the units to see which is your best option.

The Golf Buddy gps rangefinder line of products has a few systems you may find interesting, including the Golf Buddy Plus gps rangefinder and the Golf Buddy Pro gps rangefinder.  The Golf Buddy Plus is the original Golf Buddy system to market.  The Golf Buddy Plus claims to be ready to go right out of the packaging with no downloading of courses required.  If your course isn’t mapped there is an option to map it yourself or you can have client support map it for you.  If you do map your own course it must be sent back to Golf Buddy and will take a few days to be uploaded into the system.  With over 20,000 courses in the existing library you’re sure to find a local course near you already mapped out.

Using a golf rangefinder in your golf game can help your game in several ways.  Knowing your club distances is the number one way a golf rangefinder can help your golf game.   Head out to the driving range and hit each club a certain number of times, noting the distance of each club then figure the average distance. A golf rangefinder like the Bushnell Golf Rangefinder will give you accurate distances for each shot so you can figure your average distance with confidence.

Golf  rangefinders have recently become more popular in use. Golfers have come to realize how useful and effective rangefinders are for improving their game by effectively cutting strokes off every hole. Mapping your local course with a golf rangefinder will help you,with practice, choose the correct club for each shot on the course.

A golf laser rangefinder eliminates guesswork by giving you accurate yardage measures for each shot.  Usually you spent a lot of time after each shot looking for yardage markers to try to calculate the distance for your next shot.  Knowing the distances for every shot during your game increases not only your accuracy but also your pace of play.

Hazards between you and your target are a huge frustration for some golfers.  How aggravating is it when you’re playing a new course and come across a hazard you didn’t know was there?  With a golf gps rangefinder you can eliminate this problem by having hazards and bunkers clearly mapped.  This will save strokes and make your game more enjoyable by allowing you to choose the correct club.

Using a golf laser rangefinder to map your local course is very simple. While viewing the flagstick through the scope of the golf rangefinder tune it with a scale on the scope. Estimate the yardage based on where the top of the flag is on the scale.

one of the most frustrating games on the planet.  When you’re playing well its amazing but when you’re not it’s enough to make event the calmest person I know (my preacher lol) throw his clubs and say a lot of “dangit!”’s.

A gps golf system can take a lot of the frustration factor out of your game by giving you confidence in your choice of club.  Your decision of club choice is critical to playing a good round of golf.  Knowing accurately the distance you hit with each club is the telling factor.  If you’re guessing your club distances you won’t know which club to use for your shots.

When you use a gps system for golf your pace of play is improved.  To me, it all comes down to how much golf I can play.  Using my gps allows me to increase my speed of play by eliminating a lot of overshooting and short shots because I know which club to choose.  This boils down to knowing how far I hit with each club allowing me to relax and play my game with confidence.  Now if only there where a gadget to read the greens for me.

Taking your gps to the practice range is a critical step to improving your game.  Marking your ball position and learning your distances with each club will take so many strokes off your game you will be amazed.   You will probably be a little bit humbled when you see the actual numbers of your distances.  Most people think they hit farther than they actually do.

Unfamiliar courses are no longer intimidating with your gps giving you the distance information you need even on holes where the pin is not with in your line of site.

A gps for golf will take strokes off your game, improve your pace of play and build confidence in your club choice.  It’s all about enjoying the game and my gps has allowed me to eliminate a lot of frustrations and do just that.

Here’s what one customer had to say about his iGolf Neo system.

Got igolf GPS in November. Used it one time during the month without any problems. Knowing my distances without looking for markers on the course helped me to complete my round faster. Would recommend this for anyone looking for an inexpensive GPS unit.

You will notice how much different, and simple the unit looks compared to some of the golf GPS systems currently available. The screen is very bright and does not have anything fancy on it at all. It displays all the information you need in a simple very clear format. This display is a pretty large 120 x 160 pixel LCD screen that gives a great readout in all weather conditions, and is completely weather resistant.

The unit is controlled by a single blue button  giving a very simple to use one touch operation. It will display distance to key points on the fairway and the green, shot distance showing you how far you managed to hit your drives, always nice for when you really spank that ball down the green! It will display the front back, center yardages for the green and allow you to add up to 8 custom points per hole such as bunkers, end of fairway or distance to water.

The software for the iGolf Gps Caddie II that is bundled with the unit is of good quality with a simple to use interface allowing easy synchronization between your home computer and the GPS through a USB cable which is provided with your purchase.

On top of all this the iGolf GPS Caddie II should work on any course in the world with satellite access and also allowing you to easily map your own courses or points of interest on existing ones. This feature is a pleasant surprise as it is one only normally found on the more expensive Golf GPS systems.
The iGolf Caddie II GPS while being a budget level golf gps system certainly has almost as many features as some of its more expensive competitors.

The one thing that is slightly negative about the  iGolf GPS Caddie II review we did was that  some purchasers  of this unit had some feedback about the unit using AA batteries rather than the more common built in rechargeable battery systems, the battery life can be a bit low. Using rechargeable AA batteries and carrying a spare set can help solve this issue.

If you are looking for a great gps for golf, you will definitely have found a winner with the iGolf Gps Caddie II. It may not have all the bells and whistles, and the graphics the other models do, but for the money it is a great buy, and several of the testimonials we looked at told about the reduced number of strokes in their golf game.

Knowing how far you are from the front, back and center of the green gives you an advantage not known to most golfers.  Pro golfers get this information from their caddies on tour.  Now you can get the same information from your own “digital” caddie.

Using global positioning technology the golf gps system maps each golf course to give accurate information on bunkers, hazards, greens and fairways.  This allows the you to be confident in your club choice and that leads to more confidence in your game.

An added benefit of most golf gps systems is the ability to “mark” your position giving you accurate measurements of the distance you hit with each club in your bag.  Knowing accurately your distances will give you an added edge in your golf game.  Never guess which club to use, even on those “in between” shots.

A golf gps system is a great gift for any golfer.  Many golfers love gadgets and a golf gps system is the ultimate in golf gadgets.
