Attack the Pin with a Golf Garmin

Attack the Pin with a Golf Garmin

Forget about advances in golf ball design or club making, the best new piece of golf equipment to come along in years is the golf Garmin. GPS rangefinders are the rage and are easier to use than ever. Compatible with most cell phones the new units can help you always get the yardage right when hitting an approach into the green.

GolfLogix produces the most popular of the devices on the market. The company first introduced a hand held device about ten years ago and has expanded to include applications for the iPhone, Blackberry and even the new Touch Pro. “We are dedicated to making our application available on the widest range of GPS-enabled phones and HTC Touch Pro gives us the market of Windows mobile users,” states Pete Charleston, president of GolfLogix, Inc.

GolfLogix boasts of a database that includes more than 24,000 courses worldwide. They map each hazard on every course and give you exact yardages so you no longer have to guess. The handheld stand alone device sells for about 5 while applications for your phone are available for around . Most cell phone providers are now offering some type of golf rangefinder that also comes with a computer program to keep score.

The handheld rangefinders work just like the ones that some courses have installed on their carts but with your personal device you can get more precise with the yardage as you walk right to your ball. It not only will tell you the distance to the pin but can alert you to the distance to any hazards on the hole as well; what it is gong to take to carry the trap on the right or clear the water on the left. The convenience is unmatched.

Once you start using a golf Garmin you will quickly agree it is more valuable than any other tool in your golf bag. It not only can help you get closer to the pin but it can help you analyze your game to look for areas that need improvement. The score keeping functions of the units will store the results of all of your golf rounds so you will learn if you play par fives or par threes better. It can also keep stats to determine how often you scramble to save par or how many times you three putt.
