My Skycaddie SG5

After much anticipation and watching the post, my Skycaddie GPS finally arrived.
I set to work setting up my profile-it must be easy if I could do it- and in no time at all, I had selected and downloaded the local courses I wanted.
I was then able to play with the demo mode and preview the course information and get used to the various controls and features of my unit. So simple and easy to read, I could not wait to take it to the course.
I finally got the chance to play golf(only 9 holes) at Glen Iris in Jandakot, on Saturday 20th.
I turned it on to find satellites which worked straight away, and we walked to the tenth.
We checked my unit which gave the same distance reading as the distance posted. As we played the course we used the distances indicated on the gps to select our shots, and found it extremely accurate and easy to use. On a par 3, 131m I selected a seven iron and hit it pin high and 2m out, based on the distance, and 2 putted on slow greens.
It workrd great and i definitely lowered my score -first time out, and would have been better-except for slow greens.
I kept forggetting to mark my shots to check my distances, next time I can tell you how far I am driving the ball!
