rphanley03 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Name and Location? Ryan Hanley; Chicago, IL How do you currently get your yardages? A number of tools including: a Buschnell Tour V4 range finder, Game Golf system, sprinkler head, and in cart GPS. How do you feel about technology's relationship with golf? Embrace anything that will give more accurate distances, and analytics to better help me understand my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey40 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Aubrey, Berwyn, PA sprinkler heads and golf gps/tag heuer app on my phone I think tech has helped me shoot lower scores. I use it for "ish measurements" and distances to trouble. "I can't" means one of two things: 1) I'm not willing to try, or 2) I'm more afraid of failure than I am excited by success. I can.

clogreens Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Name and Location Calvin Lo / Baltimore, MD How do you currently get your yardages? I know my distances from my golf lessons and I usually play at my country club which I know very well. If I play elsewhere I just ask my buddy what club he's hitting and go off that.

J.B. TexasEx Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Jeff, Southlake TX My golf buddy's Bushnell, the on-course markers, or I just eyeball it Technology and precise yardages probably help the more serious, competitive golfers more than recreational players. I just try to get an approximate yardage and "feel" the right shot. Gotta keep the pace of play moving. This thread reminds me of a funny Ben Hogan story. Apparently, Ben was playing a casual round at Shady Oaks with a more talkative type who constantly asked him, "What'd you hit, Mr. Hogan?" Exasperated, he finally threw down two additional balls, hit two more shots into the green from the same spot, and responded, "I hit a 7-iron, a 6, and an 8!"

Caroline Bird Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Caroline Bird River Oaks, Houston. Get yardage mainly by pacing from 100, 150, 200 markers on the course. have tried phone apps and playing partners lasers but have found they can slow the pace of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manotee Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have been a SkyCaddie happy user for many years. I started with an SGX, then a Touch, now an SX500 (early adopter). I have been mostly pleased with the SX500. No issues on the course, the screen is readable in any light, yardage is good. The only problem is with charging. The proprietary USB plug is difficult to insert, and you don't dare do much wiggling. My charging port failed, and I got a replacement under warranty. I would to try the SX400 to see if it measures up to the SX500, and if they have improved the charging port/USB plug. It would be so much better with the new USB-C port.

golfinnut Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Good Luck to all of those who enter this one! I have the SX500 & it's a dream to use. Makes finding distances quick & easy.

Matt743 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 -Matt from Spotsylvania, VA -I currently use a low grade laser range finder -I think their should be technology use in golf because if used properly it can speed up pace of play and lead better positioning around the course.

Golfmercenary Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Name and Location- Joe C Silver Spring Maryland and Charlotte North Carolina How do you currently get your yardages? Range finder from top brand that jolts when it contacts the pin How do you feel about technology's relationship with golf? I think there is a solid need especially for yardage. I think the apps are not great you get on smartphones hince why I use a range finder. I think the most important thing is to find something that you like, use it and it only, and that will keep your results consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Kennon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Aaron Kennon, Lynchburg Virginia I currently use a Garmin Approach S6. I think technology is only helping me. I will say knowing yardage to the front middle and back in nice. Before my S6 I would walk everything off and make some educated guesses. Now I am hitting a lot more greens. I am not in too deep into the technology yet but the more I poke around the more it seems to help me play better.

IONEPUTT Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I would love to test one of these GPS units. I've been thinking of buying one for a while now and this would be a great way to get a really good one, " I think" and have a chance to test it at the same time for other golfers out there. My playing partner has an older model of the same brand so it would be fun and interesting to compare this new model to his older one. His is the older SGX W that is at least 5 or more years old. I play to a 6 handicap and it might be interesting to see if it gets a little lower with this new GPS unit helping me with more accurate yardages on the course. Edited December 30, 2019 by IONEPUTT Add a few things. All my clubs are custom built with aftermarket shafts that have been spine and FLO aligned for max performance every swing.
