You Be the Judge
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Michelle Wie have more in common than just multimillion-dollar endorsement deals. Just like all professional golfers, these competitors employ caddies to offer advice and perform rough calculations. Professional caddies are adept at reading greens, which vastly improves their players’ chances of holing a crucial putt. But caddies truly earn their keep by judging distances and suggesting which club to use.
Many casual club players lack the means to hire a caddy, but they still want to ensure accurate distance control. A GolfLogix GPS delivers distance readouts with pinpoint accuracy, allowing weekend golfers to select the best club for the job. A golf GPS won’t carry your clubs for you, but they will provide you with an arsenal of knowledge that can shave strokes off your score.

GPS Units the Garmin GolfLogix GPS-8
Garmin has been the go to name in GPS since i first paid attention 6 or 7 years ago. I bought on for traveling and back then they were pretty primitive compared to now.
That is the same way with the first golf GPS units compared to the ones available now. When they first came out you got a bad picture of the hole layout and distance to three areas of the green.
Now Garmin has the GolfLogix with a twelve channel receiver for super fast reading of where you are. The small size of these is amazing, and they weigh almost nothing at all. And the screen is so bright you can see it in the sunlight.
The graphics are almost like watching TV and you get distances to sand traps, woods, ponds, creeks, and still the green. What a great improvement since day one. If you travel to different golf courses you have to have on of these GPS units. Then you can play the course the first time like you have been there ten times before.
