How to Choose a Golf GPS Device and Lower Your Golf Score
You’ve just gotten off the phone with your old golfing buddies, who have agreed to play a round of golf this Saturday at your favorite course. Your excitement turns to fear as you realize that your golf game has been getting worse lately.
Your short game has been awful, lately and that has affected your putting. You can’t seem to land on the green, consistently. You think…. How do you lower your golf score. You decide to go to the golf range the next day.
At the golf range you strike up a conversation with another golfer, who suggests that you could lower your golf score by using a hand held Golf GPS device. It would take a lot of the guesswork out of the game for you. The Golf GPS would indicate to you how far the front of the green, the center and the back of the green were from where your ball lie. It would also tell you how far you were from fairway hazards and bunkers. Some GPS devices even show you the shape and slope of the greens. You would , no longer, have to rely on markers and sprinklers to give you rough distance measurements. The upshot is that you would be able to make an educated club selection decision to get you on the green. That, you realize can lower your golf score.
But How Do You Choose the Golf GPS that is Best For You ?
Here are 10 Factors for you to consider:
* Price - ranges from $150 to $429.
* Ease of Use
*Quality of screen (ease of screen visibility)
* Number of course maps that can be downloaded
* How many course maps in the manufacturer’s database
* Battery type and life
* Is there a display of the shape of the green
* Is it waterproof or water-resistant
* Price of the monthly membership fee
* Length of Warranty
Have a great round of golf with your new golf GPS and lower handicap.
