    There are few things in life that are better than a new toy that is not only fun to use, but also useful. Ask any golfer and they’ll tell you that they play the game because it’s a great way to relax; yet all the cursing and broken club heads you find on courses across the country tell a different story. Take the stress out of the game and add a little more fun with the Garmin Approach G5 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS. The handheld golf GPS from Garmin features a rugged, waterproof design with a 3-inch touchscreen display that be read even in direct sunlight. Garmin’s GPS unit comes preloaded with U.S. golf courses including fairways, greens, and hazards.

    In addition to mapping out courses for you, the Garmin helps golfers map the distance to the green to eliminate guesswork from their shots and also keeps score for up to four players. A good deal of golf gps devices are available on the market, so deciding the right device for each individual will depend on the number of features included on each model. This particular Garmin model is among the more expensive, costing over $300. While the vast majority of online reviewers had nothing but positive remarks about the Garmin Approach G5 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS, several reviewers were less than impressed. The biggest complaint from many reviewers was that despite claims that the Garmin golf gps unit could be read in direct sunlight, it was actually very difficult to view outdoors. A golf GPS unit can be a very handy addition to any golfer’s bag. While purists may complain it takes away from the spirit of the game, many would enjoy it as simply a tool for enhancing the game’s enjoyment.

    Garmin Golf GPS Handheld Eliminates Guesswork From Your Game

    March 15th, 2020

    Product display of garmin golf gps handheld

    Golf is a hard enough game without having to complicate it anymore. And while handheld GPS devices are making tracking distances easier for golfers everywhere, deciding which one to buy with all the options now available can be harder than trying to read a double-breaking putt. However, out of all the available units, the one that might be raising the most eyebrows is the Garmin Approach G5 GPS Handheld for simply one reason: Massive amounts of pre-loaded available course data. The Garmin has over 14,000 courses loaded on to it. Some other handheld GPS devices can only hold up to 10 courses at any given time.

    These courses come at no annual fee, and new maps become available for free download online all the time. Although it has some other nice features included that not all GPS devices carry, such as a very pretty looking touch screen display, the fact that it’s waterproof, and the ability to show distances to and from anywhere on the course, it is pretty similar to other GPS devices as far as distance accuracy. The interface too, although not the simplest, is still very close to the top in terms of ease of use. So, in summary, what the Garmin Golf GPS Handheld truly offers compared to other GPS units is potential: The potential to play almost anywhere, at any time, and without a lot of hassle.

    Small product picture of golf push cart review.

    Golf may be viewed by some as a less athletically challenging pursuit than other sports such as football or hockey, but golf isn’t as easy as many would think. In addition to the typical mental and physical aspects of the game, there is durability to think of. While many decide to take the easy route and use a golf cart, lots of individuals prefer to walk the course when they play 9 or 18-holes of golf. Instead of stressing your back and shoulders by carrying your bag, consider the assistance that the Clicgear 3.0 Golf Push Cart offers. This three-wheel push cart isn’t your ordinary golf cart, so let’s cover a number of the highlights now.

    The 3.0 model from Clicgear features an aluminum tubular design, making it durable and lightweight for easy transport. The rugged rubber wheels beat out the plastic wheels provided by most of the competition and a new easy activation lever for the front brake ensures your cart will stay where you put it. Other new features include storage mesh net and large console with a ball holder, scorecard holder, pencil holder, tee holder, glove holder, and towel hooks. While there are many less expensive golf carts available on the market place, the cost of the Clicgear model is due in large part to superior design and added features that many other carts lack. Online reviewers were unanimous in their love for the 3 wheel Clicgear 3.0 Push Golf Cart. The one major complaint many individuals had was that it is all too easy to smash fingers and thumbs when folding the cart into its compact form for storage. If you are an avid golfer, you will find the assistance and amenities of these Clicgear Push Golf Carts a must on the course!

    Formosa Golf Cart Enclosure Is A Drivable All Weather Golf Cart Cover

    January 24th, 2020

    Small product picture of golf cart enclosures review.

    United States postal workers claim to complete their rounds regardless of snow, sleet, rain, and dark of night, and one conversation with a dedicated golf enthusiast would leave you believing they feel the same emotions. Mother Nature doesn’t always appreciate an individual’s golf plans, raining on their parade and threatening their enjoyment. While you can’t stay dry while teeing off or finishing off a long putt for birdie, you can at least stay dry between shots with these Formosa Covers Golf Cart Enclosures. This particular model is designed for two-seater golf carts and allows individuals to see where they are going while being protected from the elements.

    The cart features see through, water resistant panels and a zipper door. The golf cart protector is constructed of 600 D poly and a PVC-coated, water repellant top. The cart cover can be installed by one individual in a matter of minutes. Other golf cart covers are available on the market, but few of them are designed for use while operating the golf cart. While the majority of online reviewers were pleased with the heavy duty Golf Cart Driving Enclosure, not everyone found it to be a good product. The most common complaint was that the cover looked cheap and was not built for the long haul. Also, in contrast with its all weather claims, a few reviewers found that the cover cracked and ripped in colder weather. If you are looking to stay dry and comfortable on a cold, rainy day at the links, consider investing in the Golf Cart Driving Enclosure. It provides good value for the price.

    Small product picture of callaway upro golf gps.

    In our increasingly technological society it seems like there is now a tool for everything the mind can think up. Smartphones can give us turn by turn directions while walking down a sidewalk, help us find the nearest restaurant, and even allow us to pay our bills while riding a city bus. It only seems logical then that we apply this technology to our leisure activities too. That’s where the uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf comes into play. The handheld Callaway Upro Golf GPS features a sleek design that fits easily in your golf bag or your pocket. The high-resolution color screen provides aerial and satellite photographed views of your favorite golf courses.

The handheld golf GPS unit from uPro will even provide golfers with a distance to pin reading to aid in club selection. There are a variety of alternatives to the uPro Golf GPS available on the market and determining if this model is the best should be left to the individual golfer. Alternative models run from $68 to as much as $300, with varying features in comparison to this model. Many online reviewers were happy with their purchase of the uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf, but a large portion of those who reviewed the item found too many faults to give it a good rating. The most common complaints were a lack of courses available in uPro’s database, poor battery life, and units that froze the first time they were used. Casual golfers who are also fond of exciting technological tools may find the golf GPS system from uPro to be an exciting addition to their golf bag. However, serious golfers may want to spend a little extra on a more established brand with better features.
