Because they td me and my pro has had them at the course. It's so all over the Web and packaging.
Oh, well it must be true then
I have ground mapped 100's of courses for SkyCaddie and every time I visit a course I introduce myself to the Pro's and ask them when they were last visited by anyone, the answer is always the same, only by SkyCaddie whether it be me the year before or the last time changes were made, they go on to state they have never had anyone else ask to come to the course to update changes.
That said, a few years before Golf Buddy were making their current false claims of 'teams of expert mappers who walk courses', which I believe is with the legal teams currently in the USA, they (GB) would have a student turn up at a course with a clipboard and a basic GB GPS and an aerial ground map and they would 'verify' the course, what the point of that was who knows but then they were just trying to be a little clever with their marketing wording, now they just simply lie!
I've just been onto GB's website and looked at a few courses I've updated over the last few years and none of them have been updated since 2011. One of those courses is my own here in Coventry where I actually sent GB an email to inform them of forthcoming changes and invited them to the course, at that time my course was an Open Qualifying course and yet it still states on their website it was last updated in 2011!! We have had substantial changes since that time, which I have obviously walked and updated immediately but no Golf Buddy GPS will show them unless they've picked it up by the third party aerial satellite they use the same as all the other brands admit to using.
SkyCaddie have mappers placed all over the country covering their own areas, none of us ever bump into anyone else on a course that requires updating and we are never informed by a Pro who would know who's out on his course, that anyone other than ourselves attends a course to 'map it' or have even called them knowing changes had been made!
