    Revolutionary golf product - A MUST HAVE!!!!!

    I have owned this product for over a year and find it to be the best thing I take with me to the course. If you will spend 15 minutes reading the well written user’s guide and follow what it says, I promise it will be the most enjoyable and useful product you will use. Accurate to within one yard with instantaneous readings, it will improve your play by providing you with accurate distances and allow you to select your shots by knowing distances to various key locations on each hole. Not only does it allow you to pinpoint flag locations to within one yard on each hole, but of equal importance it provides you with yardage information on distances to sand traps, water and any other point you so choose. It also allows you to track the distances of each shot to build a profile of your yardages for each club hit. I can’t imagine playing without it. And for only $349, I would definitely purchase this powerful tool before I would spend my money on a more expensive driver or set of clubs. I am a strong supporter of this product. What an advantage you have over others in your foursome.


    Does the Job for a Price

    Just got an SG2 and used it today for the first time on one of the professional SkyCourses that you can download from their web site. Yardages to front, center and back of greens as well as key markers along a hole were all available. The Intelligreen feature allowed me to move the cursor to the exact postion on a green by pressing the four-way toggle switch on the unit.
    On the whole the product worked without flaw - distance readouts were clear and easy to read and even the detailed, more esoteric descriptions for fairway bunkers, distance to water etc… were intuitive. I was using the SG2 for the first time on a course I had not played before, so having detailed yardage information was definately a plus. The unit did take a while to acquire the necessary satellte signals when I first turned it on but this was something that was mentioned in the manual. Once acquired, I had extremely good coverage for the entire round.
