The Best Rangefinder In Golf…SkyCaddie SGX

The much anticipated SkyCaddie SGX is finally here much to the chagrin of their competition! The new SkyCaddie SGX is the ultimate in golf GPS systems with superior technology and features. Released March 15, 2010, it is one of the most anticipated golfing-specific GPS units to date. According to its maker, Skygolf, the SkyCaddie SGX is “a platform that can extend the game beyond the 18th green”. The new SkyCaddie SGX boasts a large 3″ easy-to-read transflective LCD screen that is easy to see even in direct sunlight.

The new SkyCaddie SGX boasts a dual navigation system that provides easy one-handed operation and precise positioning without blocking vital information.Often in their attempt to make these devices as portable as possible, usability is sacrificed because of the reduction in size.It is almost as though they are designed for people with tiny hands! However this definitely isn’t the case with the SkyCaddie SGX as it is easy to operate even with your gloves on.

According to SkyGolf CEO Richard Edmonson, the goal of the Skycaddie SGX Golf GPS is to “help golfers play smarter, play better, play faster, and have more fun.” Well, the SkyCaddie SGX most unquestionably lives up to these goals. Its high-performance GPS engine includes new proprietary TruePoint Precision Positioning Technology providing fast, accurate, and reliable satellite acquisition.It is further enhanced by an omni-directional, high-performance GPS antenna that locks quickly onto more satellites than its competitors. The Skycaddie SGX GPS locks-on and stays locked to optimize performance and accuracy in all terrains, even under trees.

SkyGolf has the largest data base of ground verified course maps, all of which are available to Skycaddie owners through an annual membership fee.The SkyCaddie SGX is ready to use straight from the box with over 30,000 pre-loaded courses with basic green information.The SGX can holdup to 50 full-featured courses at one time with room to grow. The new SkyCaddie SGX also includes their patented HoleVue Technology, with zoom capability. It’s a one-of-a-kind technological break-through with ground-verified course maps in high resolution full color-detail.

With HoleVue Technology golfers are provided with the distance to any point on the hole in play allowing them to play the hole either aggressively or cautiously.The HoleVue Zoom feature gives players up-close views of target areas, allowing him or her to strategize the next shot.SkyGolf is the only company that ground verifies their course maps with government grade survey equipment so you can rest assured the HoleVue graphics are extremely accurate.

The SkyCaddie SGX also includes patented IntelliGreen technology showcasing the exact shape of the green by automatically rotating the green to match a golfer’s angle of approach.IntelliGreen provides all yardages needed to hit more greens and avoid lengthy putts.An optional IntelliGreen Pro feature provides golfers with the added ability to obtain distances to major green contours, false fronts, and any other point on the green.According to SkyGolf, IntelliGreen Pro includes front, center, and back distances from any angle of attack, all of which cannot be derived from satellite imagery used in competing products.

With the Sky Caddie SGX, you can join Club SG a new fast growing online community where golfers can automatically upload their scores and stats for in-depth game tracking and analysis.This new, ground-breaking golf portal allows SGX owners to synchronize and accumulate their game statistics in an online personal performance file and, in-turn, track key information, learn about courses, find a golf instructor, learn if their equipment is helping or hurting their game, and connect with other players.

As if that isn’t enough SkyGolf introduces SmartClub Technology.With SmartClub Technology, the SGX can communicate via wireless link to each club in a golfer’s bag.Once a club is removed from a golfer’s bag, a link is established between the SGX and SmartClub Tags located at the butt-end cap of the club’s grip.This innovative new feature can alter golfers who mistakenly forget their clubs at the last hole.Along with the alert it tracks statistics such as the distance of each shot with each club, and provides you with the option of which club you should use.These post-game analytics can easily be shared with friends, instructors, and golf fitters alike.
