How good is that enjoy your prize

 

[Parmo]

Ta fellas, I called them and spoke of my unfortunate situation this past week and that this has made my xmas, and for that they have added my home municipal 9 holer and another local course on top of the 5 credits I get

it might take me all season to work the bugger out!! lolz

 

[Cernunnos]

lol. Congratulations mate. :thumbsup:

 

[Beaker]

Congrats! I hope you get as much out of it as I do?! Plus its not too complicated to use, im useless with most things (Other than a TV remote!!) and i find it ok!

 

[Imurg]

Correctimo

 

[Imurg]

Must admit, I got an e-mail from them as I'd entered the compy too and for a moment I thought I'd won.

 

[mrmotorbikeman]

It's nice when things like that happen. Congrats mate, enjoy it!

 

[theeaglehunter]

You Bar Steward!

Nah well done mate,always nice when a forumer wins something- what was the competition?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Well done. Where was the comp and what did you have to do

 

[TonyN]

Some people aye!!!!

Nice one Parmo.

 

[Parmo]

The comp I found on moneysavingexpert.com website after some random Google search, the question was: -

Shotmiser was recently used in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship but who won the sudden death play-off in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championships 2008?

Answer (obvious) = Robert Karlsson

Are these things easy to use? Do users generally have a couple of practice rounds with them or does taking them to the range help? I spoke to them and they are putting my municipal on it +5 credits for courses, but as Beaker said I am just about confident witht he TV remote control!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not sure how easy it is to use. It wasn't a brand I looked at but I think there is a small review in the latest Golf World. At then end of the day it is free and if you don't like it flog it and get an SC2.5

 

[andycap]

Well done Parmo!
I know how you feel having recently won a G10 driver my first thought was that the e-mail was a scam. But don't it feel good when you find it's genuine!
Hope you like it

 

[Robo]

Nice one mate!

Have fun with it.

 

[Parmo]

Once again thanks fellas, I spent most of last night watching the YouTube instructions on it lol just hope I get used to it quite quickly as not to spend half the round messing on with it, I think I shall turn the GPS off at home and practice with it on the sofa lol.

 

[Beaker]

I think I shall turn the GPS off at home and practice with it on the sofa lol.

Thats what I did Parmo, just used it for an hour at home and it helped! Did they give you 5 course credits or £5? Good of them to do that either way?!

The review in golf world of GPS devices is good and i think the top 3 seem to be sky caddie, shotmiser and caddy aid?

Does anyone have a bushnell or caddy aid? I always think the Bushnells look quite good?!

 

[Imurg]

Golf World seem to think that although the unit is good it can be a little fiddly to use as its a touch screen PDA type thing.

Still, as Homer said, if you don't get on with it then its a nice little earner to put cash towards one you want.
