I've been golfing with several folks that use sighting types of range finders, or GPS set ups. My brother just got a Bushnell Neo XS and that was pretty cool. I can generally pace from yardage markers and get a rough idea, but when I spray wide (which is often), it'd be really nice to get a read on my yardage. I've tried the sighting gadgets but can't seem to get a very good lock. I really like the GPS styles that tell you how far to green.
When you spray way off line, into other fairway, will the GPS set ups still tell you how far you are to the hole?
Can I just get some sort of GPS app for my Droid (MotoX or Samsung Galaxy) that will work the same as a gadget? OR...do I have to buy a gadget?
IF I get an APP, I don't mind paying the $10 or $20, but do I also have to pay a fee for all the different courses I play, plus annual maintenance fees, etc...?
Some of the gadgets (like my bro's NeoX) have thousands of North Amercian courses entered already. Other gadgets, I'm not sure how you go about selecting the course you're on.
Sorry, these are probably simple questions but I'm lost on this one. Thanks for your good advice and help. I'm not a super-pro and getting a good idea on my yardage is good enough, since I never really know how well I'll contact my next shot.
