Golf Gps - thumbs up from me.

Well what a difference knowing the exact distances can make to the game. The yardages on the course were out; ranging from 3 or 4 yards to a worrying 9 yards!

I shot a 79, my first sub 80 round of the season. It included 8 pars and a birdie on the 2nd. I was -1 after 3 holes! Golfshake now has my handicap as 13.5.

Looking forward to playing again on Wednesday. Oh and I found out our club Pro is trying to qualify for the British Open on Wednesday. Will report back when I know how he got on.

Lastly why wont my Golf Insurance cover my SkyCaddie??  Rang them and computer said no!

I have one of the Snooper SatNavs, they come with free golf GPS.

As well as being a SatNav for the car, it has all the speed cameras on it.

Then the golf courses are there.

There is no subscription fee and you can download as many courses as you want.

i have finally got my caddyaid to work on my PDA, will let you know how it goes.

used my caddyaid on my phone today and while i played crap the device is fantastic, all the info you could want and only £33

Wayne, it's good for me!

I'm very happy with the Snooper.

They have a website with a list of golf clubs that are already on the system, and you can contact them to request a course to be mapped.

The Snooper gives me all the normal information, back, middle and front of green.  It also gives distances to bunkers, ponds and ditches.

The only drawback for me is that the battery only lasts for one round!  You cannot change the battery so if you played 36 holes in one day you'd have to try and recharge the unit before you went back out.

Nick Thomson  have you tried the caddyaid?

Hi Nick, not quite sure I follow the last paragraph with me being a software developer.  Surely it's the other way round - software updates but hardware remains ?

Got ya, that was my view.
