OK here's the scoop. While this little gadget won't fix your slice or dreaded snap hook, it will however help greatly in the club selection process and course management. I picked this brand for a few reasons. First for it's simplicity. I don't want to have to push a bunch of buttons and worry about operating this thing while I'm trying to focus on golf. After 3 rounds I've got a routine. Typical par 4. Standing at the tee, I check yardage, distance to any hazards then press the enter button which puts it in "Distance of Last Shot" mode. I walk to my ball, look at it again to see the distance and press the enter button again to put it back to regular yardage mode. That's it. You don't need to hit anything if you don't care about the last shot feature. To get it working for your round I turn it on when I get there. It knows what course I'm on and where I'm at. It's that simple. Another reason I got this one was the annual fee of 29.00 for unlimited downloads seems better than those other ones and also the fact that it's made by Garmin who also makes GPS for the car. I figure they're not going anywhere and will stay in business.
The down side is that when you tell your buddies about the 280 yard bombs you've been hitting you will know it's a lie rather than a little harmless exaggeration!
Will this save strokes? YES in the long run absolutely. Oh and for all of you that were reading glasses and worry about have to wear them to see the screen, No worries. I wear 1.50 power and have no problem seeing the smallest print.
So there you have it. Get one. It will make you a smarter golfer.
