I mentioned this before in an old post of mine that I am looking for a GPS of sorts when im out on the course, or even the practice range. With so many toys out there to tell you how far to go, how far you hit, hole overlays, green dimensions, it's a lot to take in at once.
So THP, what do you recommend?
- What I am looking for in a device is something that will tell me how far I am from the pin, whether it is pin location or center green. Prefer pin placement over center green.
- GPS accuracy. Don't want to get a 140 reading use my PW, and wind up 20 yards short.
- If possible, a device that can accommodate elevation differences from ball to pin. I don't know if that technology exists yet.
- I want to know how far I hit the ball from the tee, mainly because sometimes I get a hold of a drive and want to get a reading for my ego. There is a par 4 here that if you catch the downhill, you get serious distance.
- I want something that will help on the range to dial in distances. (Guess this will rule out a watch)
- I don't want to pay monthly/annual fees.
- I want to be able to download courses that may not be already pre-installed. I play on a local par three course regularly that may not be in most devices.
- I don't want to pay $250 for something when a $150 device does the same thing, but then again, I like options and may want to pay for those additional options.
- I want something that will last possibly five years before newer technology has advanced far enough to get a new device.
- Something that is easy to use. I don't want to bring up a menu, push five buttons, install an addon, triangulate, and then do a cartwheel for a reading.
- Durability. What good is a device if you drop it once and it breaks?
- It needs to make a sandwich upon request. One can only dream.
So THP, what do you recommend?
