Compact SkyCaddie SG2.5
|
The controversial news that the Professional Golfers Association at The Belfry has sanctioned the use of GPS rangefinders in all its professional events this year, has prompted SkyCaddie to introduce a new SG.5 entry-level model.
Expecting a surge in demand for the SkyCaddie now that these innovative yardage measuring devices are accepted within the Rules of Golf at specified courses, the makers have made the new model lighter than its predecessor and increased the screen resolution and battery life.
The compact device (4.5in x 2.2in) is packed with features, including IntelliGreen technology, which enables golfers to measure the full depth and exact shape of the green from any angle and gives three precise precise measurements to the flagstick and to the frontand back of the green.
Costing £169.95, the SG2.5 gives instant and accurate information via satellite, including exact yardages to hazards and to clear them and a programme for each course's layout with 'fairway targets' and safe zones to avoid trouble.
As well as 2,000 courses mapped in Europe available for download from www.skycaddiegps.co.uk - SkyCaddie also offers a membership scheme for travelling golfers to get immediate access to plans of over 17,000 courses around the world.
