Now this isn't a product that you're going to be taking out with you for your weekend competition, but for golfers who take to the course for a few hours of freedom and a competitive laugh with their mates, the Bushnell Wingman is a game-changer.

If you love having a couple of beers during your round with some good tunes playing in the background, but you also want to receive accurate yardages whilst playing, then this product is for you.

GOLFMAGIC VERDICT

We absolutely loved the Bushnell Golf Wingman GPS Speaker and think it is the perfect gadget for those who enjoy the social aspect of the game.

Personally, I have played multiple rounds with my friends in the summer or on a golf trip where you've got a few beers on the go and music playing out of your phone, but you still want to know your yardages for each hole.

The Wingman GPS speaker offers a fantastic combination, with high-quality sound to play your favourite tunes and with the press of a button you're told exactly how far you need to hit your next shot.

The integrated BITE magnet means you don't need to carry the speaker around with you as it simply sticks onto the frame of your golf buggy, making it perfect for your lads golf trip abroad.

Using the Wingman eliminates the need to use a laser or GPS watch and the remote control for the speaker is a little larger than a two-pound coin, meaning you can just leave it in your pocket and press the button when you need to know your yardages.

As useful as the Wingman GPS speaker is on the golf course, it's also a fantastic speaker to use at home. The volume can be turned up very loud and the quality of sound is still exceptional.

The USB port in the speaker allows you to use the device to charge your phone, which is another useful feature whilst you're out on the course and the battery life is also very good, as we have used it for two full rounds without needing to charge it in between.

Of course if you want to know your exact yardages to the flag and have slopes taken into account, the Bushnell lasers are still the go-to products, but for those of you who enjoy a fun, social round of golf, the Wingman GPS speaker is a must have.
