A new Golfbuddy

Has anyone got one or even seen one yet?

Is it just a Sonnocadie copy

for a moment I thought you'd had a row with Jan !

Not seen the new one, but didn't think much of the old one.

I wish I could hit shots as straight and few as those on screen

......but didn't think much of the old one.

It was aimed at the more senior golfer (big buttons, large lettering etc)

 

[USER1999]

No, the old one had small buttons and was fiddly to use. But the biggest fault of all was it was hopelessly inaccurate (up to 35 yards out), and didn't have enough courses on it. 10k courses (or more) is fine, but not if the one you want to play isn't on it.

Not looked at the longridge GPS but I did try the laser range finder they do for about £100. It was hopeless, didn't pick up on the flag very easily and when it did, the yardage was inaccurate. I sent it back and decided you get what you pay for and bought a bushnell.

I've got the original one and find it brilliant. No issues with buttons, accuracy or available courses.
