Saw it at the golf show, not enough courses and having to tap a screen put me off and them saying it was used in last years open when it clearly wasnt makes you a bit suspitious of this , but it looks quite nice also they cant give you a guarentee of how accurate it is just my opinion for what its worth.

It was used by some player's caddies in practice rounds etc when they put their numbers and notes in their yardage books...they don't mean it was used in the actual competition.

It's been around a good couple of years. I looked into it a couple of years ago but never got s response to my e-mail. I've read elsewhere that people have had difficulty with customer service, getting new courses added etc, but I can't comment on how good a product it is.

Virtually every course in the UK is listed with the Caddy Aid, does that mean they are telling porkies?

When you click through their site, it eventually says that many of the courses are unavailable.

I've just ordered the Sky Caddie, after just hearing they are being allowed in Alliance comps. I'm not really concered how wide the fairways are etc etc, but it will certainly  help me regarding how far I have to go with my shot to the green or maybe a lay up. The Upro is no where near ready for the UK yet, although it looks pretty good.

I have the Caddy Lite, which is now available from Golf Plus for £99.00.  It does exactly and only what it is supposed to do: it tells you how far you are from the green(front, back and middle) and from various hazards on the way (providing they have been mapped), and it automatically knows when you have advanced to the next tee.  There are no fancy icons, legends, graphics or colour - just the numbers.  It doesn't tell you which iron to play or keep a record of your scores or do any post-round analysis.  The assumption made by the manufacturers is that you just want to get on with your game and have no interest in fiddling around with messy buttons inputting scores or accessing features available on cascading sub-menus.  If you are a reasonable golfer, the confidence you get from knowing exactly how far you are from the middle of the green and hence what club to choose may save you a couple of shots a round.  Golfers, as you will probably agree when you read this, can be suckers for the latest gizmos - ball finders, swing trainers, range finders, electronic scorecards etc. - and they are nearly all rubbish, used once before consignment to the garage and then the dump.  The Caddly Lite is different - genuinely useful and unobtrusive - and I shall always keep it on my bag.

I have the Sky Caddy, and it's also good imho, very useful.
