Golf GPS and Golf Rangefinder Measuring Devices 21/6/2023
Golf GPS and Golf Rangefinder Measuring Devices One of the most effective ways amateur golfers can improve their game is to invest in a handheld golf GPS device. Proper course management is a fantastic way of knocking shots of your scorecard but it is a part of the game that too many of us neglect. With a golf GPS system to do the hard work, there is now no excuse for getting it wrong.Get more news about Golf Rangefinder,you can vist our website! The golf GPS system as an aid for golfers may only have been around for a few years but already their impact has been quite amazing. It was back in 2000 that US President Bill Clinton decreed that GPS (or Global Positioning System) technology from American satellites could be used commercially. He can't have known how big a favour he was doing his fellow golfers. Golf GPS systems use satellites to pinpoint your exact location. At their simplest level golf GPS systems then use this information to give golfers valuable information on yardages, including distance to the green and distance to hazards. In the past couple of years the GPS market has exploded. That's good news for golfers provided they can look through the bewildering array of options to find the device that best suits their needs and their budget. The Rules You're unlikely to see any players marching around Augusta on the final Sunday of The Masters studying a GPS handheld device. On the other hand they all have real life caddies to give them a helping hand. Most of us rarely get the chance to use a caddie that knows our game and the course equally well. That's where golf GPS can come in. The R&A has changed its rules to allow the use of golf GPS devices if they have been approved by the individual golf club and a change in the local rules. This now covers club competitions as well as general play. There has been much debate about the use of golf GPS systems and not all clubs have been prepared to change their rulings. So the golden rule is always to check if you are in any doubt. With many golfers and administrators now convinced that the use of GPS devices is actually an effective way of combating slow play it seems certain that more and more clubs will allow the use of GPS golfing aids in the future. As golf GPS offers more and more information it is important to remember that the rules only cover distance measuring devices and devices offering wind or elevation measurement would not be permissible even if the local rule had been changed to allow distance measuring devices. As with golf GPS sytems the R&A have amended their rules to allow for the use of distance measuring devices such a golf rangefinders if sanctioned by Local Rules. So the golden rule is the same: always check with the course before you use the device. And, as with GPS devices, your golf rangefinder must only measure distance to be permissible. GPS devices are mainly about yardages, but there are plenty of other features to help you with course management. The simplest device will give you the distance to the front of the green or yardages to the front, centre and back of the green. Some of these more basic golf GPS systems will also provide measurements to two or three additional hazards on each hole. If you are lucky enough to regularly travel to play golf then you might also want to consider how many courses your GPS handheld device can store. Many now offer the option of keeping a 100 more courses on the device while many manufacturers have easily downloadable databases of thousands of courses on their websites. It's also worth checking how much these additional courses will cost you. Some manufacturers offer free access but remember to check in case there are any extra charges. As well as helping with course management GPS handheld golfing aids can also help you find out more about your own game. Many models now offer the option of tracking your own game. With these you can store information about fairways hit, greens in regulations, sand saves and driving distances. If you enjoy tracking your statistics or want to get a better knowledge of your own game then these are well worth considering. It's easy to be blinded by the technology when discussing golf GPS systems but there also some practical considerations before you buy. We'd all love to only play golf in good weather but that doesn't always happen so check if the device you are interested is waterproof, rainproof and impact resistant. But don't rule out those sunny days, an anti-glare screen will make life much easier. Finally remember to test your favoured GPS handheld golf device for ease of use. You want it to improve your game and it won't do that if you get flustered trying to use it. With so many different models available there is great variation in the usability of golf GPS systems including new touchscreen devices. It’s certainly a good idea to choose one that you feel confident and comfortable with.
