I had the exact same with a garmin last year. 3-4 e-mails from Garmin finally sorted it out, and good customer service.

Complain to golf buddy if no joy.

Golf-buddy sound a tin-pot firm.

I had issues with both of mine, first one was sent to Germany and a replacement was issued with no hassle.

Replacement unit screen failed, then would work again . Contacted the guy who sorted my problem before, he arranged it to be sent to Bolton, they like yourself have witnessed weren't too keen on a repair.

I constantly emailed them asking for updates, they eventually said they had no spare units or components to do a repair. I was sent the PT4 unit foc which has been great so far.

I have got this gps. not had the problem you are taking about. Have had a few times when it freezes or can not find any courses etc. I have found if I pop the sd card(memory card?) out the bottom, give it a blow and wipe and put it back in, it then works. You probably already tried that I would imagine.
