Using a powerful microprocessor, GPS, and satellite-based accuracy enhancement technology, the SkyCaddie automatically calculates, as you move, distances to up to forty targets per hole simultaneously in less than a second. You will already have your number when you get to your ball.You don't need a clear line of sight or reflective target with the SkyCaddie. Because the targets are pre-programmed, the SkyCaddie eliminates the need to aim through a lens, accidentally hitting the wrong target on a hole, or trying to hit a pin with a laser beam at 200 yards.Get accurate measurements over hills, trees, and obstructions to any target. Play confidently and knock strokes off your game. Learn how far you hit your drive, 5-iron, 9-iron, or wedge with a touch of a button.Just let the SkyCaddie see the sky, and it'll do all the yard work for you! Plus, at a mere 4.8 ounces, it goes anywhere you go. Now your game can measure up, just like the SkyCaddie!

Summary: sKY CADDIE FAILURE
Comment: I recently ordere a Sky Caddie GPS and three times the product which was supplied was defective. The first one couldn't access the satellites and had to be returned. The second one had three screws in the case missing and fell apart on use. The third one was alreadey used by someone else with a different name programmed and it failde also. I feel that the units were refurbished and not new as advertised, and I felt very disappointed with the Amazon quality control.

Summary: For the good players
Comment: With the small size and intellgreen feature, this unit is great for good players. I would say that if skygolf has mapped the course, this is the best unit around. Others use pictures of the hole to get the distances and most only give you the front back and center of the green distances. I am not sure were you play, but i play on some interesting shaped greens and need to know how far it is to carry on all parts of the green. I know many have complained that not all bunkers are pointed out, I personly just need the green maped for me. I have had my side button break on me and I can not lock the key pad, but this happend after I map my own course that did not see the benifet of having skygolf map it for them. Most course have to buy a few units to get there coures mapped, but the units that they sell are pre-loaded with the course. $[...] bucks a year may be a bit steep, but golflogic is 30 if you play more than 20 different courses and they use pictures to map. I do not know how you can take a picture and place a gps location on it but I will take a person with a gps unit on there back for me.

Summary: Skycaddie Leather Cover
Comment: The product is just what I expected so very satisfied. Dealing thru Amazon was excellent. ONLY negative was the cost of the product. Over $30 dollars for a tiny leather cover is ridiculous.

Summary: Definitely improves my game!
Comment: I've played with my SG2 for a few rounds and since then my best round dropped from a 95 to an 87 - twice in a row. It's given me more confidence in my shots and has made the game a lot more fun - no more hunting for markers or sprinkler heads!
The first time I used it, I didn't give it time to orient itself and it didn't work at all. My bad.
Since then, I give it 10 minutes on my golf bag before a round to get oriented and it's ready to go. It has worked perfectly. I purchased it because of the intelligreen feature and this has been worth every penny! Being able to target specific areas of the green and knowing its shape has saved me many strokes and is a real confidence booster when you're shooting over hazards. The extra information is a lot more useful than just front, center, and back of the green, and it's extra cool how the distance can be updated by moving the cursor to the exact point on the green you want to hit.
The four star courses are extremely well-mapped with and it's easy to update the courses on the unit via the USB interface. I live in the San Diego area and all the courses I play around here have been mapped. It would be nice if it held more than 10 courses but that's just being greedy.
And for you Mac-heads like me, their software works great with my new iMac, no problems at all.
If you like to golf and you have all the right clubs, this should be your next investment. It's not cheap but it's less than the price of a good hybrid. (And you''ll always be the most popular golfer in your foursome!)
