Those of us who share a passion for improving our golf game, are
always on the lookout for a secret weapon. A piece of new technology
that will save us valuable strokes.

Well listen up golfers! Whether you’re a duffer, or a scratch
semi-pro, modern technology has provided us with a new device
that will make your foursome think you’ve been taking lessons.

A GPS Caddie or Golf GPS, is a handheld global posiitoning
system specifically designed for the golf course.
These devices will provide you with golf course maps of your
favorite track,and are used to determine distances between you
and important targets and hazards.

Golf GPS devices have become so popular in the
last couple of years than many of the best golf courses have had
them installed into their golf riding carts.
They are rugged, water resistant, and typically run on a couple
of AA batteries with an AC charger.

There are several different manufacturers and models of Golf GPS
units; Garmin Golflogix, Sky Caddie, iGolf GPS Caddie, and Golf
Buddy, just to name a few.

One of my very favorite units is the Garmin Golflogix 8.
This new model for 2008 is cutting edge technology which gives you
access to over 15,000 golf courses world wide. The Golflogix 8
comes with lots of new technical goodies but the feature I like
the best is the ability to immediately show the distance of your
last shot.

Imagine; Your GPS Caddie tells you how far the front of the green
is, and the distance to the bunker guarding the left front corner of the
green. You take your shot on this long par 3, and come up short.
Your Garmin Golflogix 8 shows you the distance of the shot you
just took. No more guessing your 6 iron distance for your next
shot!

If you really want to impress your foursome, a GPS Caddie is
what you’ve been waiting for.

Caddie Mark Long discusses the creation of his yardage books, which are used by many on the PGA TOUR. Fred Funk and PGA TOUR caddie Dan Padawer describe how valuable these books are during competition.
