Preferred Wrist #GPS

[Deleted member 21445]

I don't wear a watch in everyday life.

With me stopping using Arccos I have bought a GPS watch.

Is there a concensus of opinion to which wrist is best to wear it on for golf ?

If you play right handed I would wear it on your right wrist. This is because when you address the ball your right hand will be slightly further from the hole and amateur golfers have a tendency to come up short so the extra few inches might help.

Left, right or middle??‍
You choose?

I’m sure some pros would also like a few extra inches too

Most watches that have any sort of shot recognition (e.g. Tom Tom, Garmin) recommend wearing it on the lead wrist - so left for a righty player, to improve recognition of actual shots.

I am right handed and I wear it on my right wrist … but only because my watch has a serious design fault. It is a Bushnell and, when I move my hand and it flexes my wrist, it pushes on the button on the lower right hand side and advances the hole … I look down and it says 845 yards coz it has advanced two holes! ?

I had the same issue with my old Bushnell as well. My Shotscope locks the screen so I don't have that problem now.
BTW, I wear it on my left wrist.

Put it on your ankle so you look like your wearing a tag just out of prison.
