It was my birthday yesterday so I've some cash burning a hole in my pocket

I've currently got the Sureshot 8800 & although it is a great system the new features on the SG5, QuickVue and HoleVue have sold me on the idea of getting one.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any really good deals on the SG5 or maybe knew someone who had one but was thinking of selling it??

If When I get one I shall be selling my Sureshot so if someone wants to buy it off me send me a pm to discuss.

Thanks,

John

John,

I too was thinking of getting the SG5 having tried and borrowed one from a freind who has one, but after looking at the 2.5 and the 5 I went for the 2.5. 

This is because:-

1. They both have the same features including Quick vue and hole vue.

2. I couldn't justify the extra £120 for a colour screen and slightly bigger in size.

If you still want to get a SG5 then you can find some really good prices on the net from USA at approx £190 the £40 shipping. Still cheaper than the £299 you pay for in this country.

That is how my mate purchased his.

Martin,

I didn't realise that!! You've just saved me £120. Will the USA versions function properly in the UK?

Funny really as I originally purchased a 2.5 about a year ago & swapped it for the Sureshot

What is the QuickVue & HoleVue like??

DM - Thanks very much.

I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!!!

 Be careful Mr W or I might recall the story about the bottle of Bells whisky on the 14th!!!

No I didn't Darren, but I do now. Thanks.

That's obviously why companies are giving away free accessories with the SG2.5 & SG5. They want to get rid of old stock before the new model.

Could pick me up a bargain?

Which pro John? Handsworth or Brandhall?

Do you regret flogging the other to me now?

Have you got the pay the annual fee ?

I was going to suggest a Bushnell.

Paul,

When I said local I meant within a 30mile radius

Don't regret is as new model has new features built into it.

I will have to pay annual fee but would have had to pay a fee soon if I kept the Sureshot so no extra costs there.

The laser's are a bit too time consuming & the hassle of having to get them out of the case etc. Golf monthly have done a good review in their latest issue reviewing all current GPS devices including Laser finders. The Skycaddie SG5 came out tops.

Cheers.
