Golf GPS Watches - A Buyer's Guide

To start with, you might ask why invest in a Golf GPS watch. The reasons are ample. The first is to get an exact idea of the yardage. It is not uncommon to misjudge a shot when trying to gauge the distance by merely looking. Also, there could be accuracy issues with the yardage marker already installed on the course. Not being able to make a near-correct estimation of distance makes the difference between a birdie and a missed shot. With it you can calculate the distance back, front and center of the greens. You can get elevation readings as well as the overall course layout. This information can help the golfer choose the most appropriate club and swing for the shot. Thus, a Golf GPS watch makes a good substitute for an on-course caddy.
