What measuring device??

[sambora666]

If money was no object what GPS measuring device would you suggest?

Alot of people seem to be going for the Garmin watches at about £140 and are impressed.

Can't play golf wearing a watch so I would more than likely go for something like a Golfbuddy World or similar.

If you spend most of the time on the correct fairway and know your yardages, I would suggest a laser rangefinder

I'd spend the money on lessons and judging distance by 150 yd markers, pin positions and playing conditions.

GPS should be banned, unlike Belly Putters which are the best invention in the world

Think you meant it this way around surely!?

judging distance by 150 yd markers,

Assuming the 150's are correct. Some course I have played recently have been 15-20 yards out and that's problematic in itself.

Just recieved my golf buddy from online golf, reduced from £280 to £150, bargain of the century, well impressed

Well spotted.

I found a supposed 150 on mine that was 164 by skycaddie.

No wonder I kept getting clagged up in the soft apron to that green.

If I was in the market for a new DMD then I'd look at the latest Garmin but at £300+ its too much

Ive got Sonocaddie Autoplay, had for years, thousands of courses loaded up, no issues, Happy

A hillman and a shotmiser do me. Don;t need to turn them on. Just hit the ball a few time pick it up record a ding and walk to the next hole. They look impressive hanging from the bag.

Seriously though. The Shotmiser is great but I can use the lazer on any course I play regardless of mapping.

Ive the golf buddy world and its a great piece of kit!!

I have the Garmin G3 from Tesco Direct at £119 and love it

That is a great price. Tesco is now sold out of these and the best price I can find elsewhere is about 180 on amazon.

 

[DavidO]

If money was no object, I'd probably go for this

Best of both worlds

However, realistically, if I ever get given vouchers, I'd plump for something like this!!!!

 

[sambora666]

Thanks for all your comments. I will have a detailed look at all the products suggested and see what ticks the boxes as they say.

I've got the Bushnell Laser V2 Tour so you get an exact measurement to the pin as I think some green staff don't get the flag colours right at times and their interpretation of the middle is somewhat to be challenged. Also when looking across at 150 markers and then knowing its 162 yards to the pin, its a different shot all together.

I am also looking for a Garmin or SkyCaddie though for hazards that cannot be seen at times like ditches running across fairways etc, I think a GPS then is a match saver.

The Tesco direct for the Garmin look to be the best value on the current market.
