I had a look around the internet for about a month deciding on which Golf GPS device I was going to buy.
I'd looked at a few makes, SkyCaddie, Caddy Aid (put off by some bad reviews on Golf Monthly), Sure Shot and finally Shotmiser.
Price wise Shotmiser came in at middle of the market. Price was a concern as I didn't want to spend a lot of money some are as much as £300 - £350!
for me it was a toss up between the SkyCaddie SG5 and Shotmiser.
In the end I went with Shotmiser, the major reasons for this being: It gives yardage to any position on the course by touching the screen (SkyCaddie gave set points as did Caddy Aid). It zooms and rotates as you move down the hole giving me a clear line of shot. The graphics are crystal clear. It has a digital score card and stats analysis and the device can also be used as a Sat Nav in the car.
I got out on the course with it a week or so ago and knocked 5 shots off completing my best round to date. The battery lasted 36 holes which was good as I've heard some of these devices can be power hungry. Stood next to markers on the course I found that the yardage I was given was accurate to within 1 to 2 yards which I wont argue with.
I would certainly recommend this product and shall to my golf buddies. Any chance you do a recommend a friend discount?? Or free courses??
All in all a very useful piece of kit thats very easy and simple to use.
I received great customer service from the people at Shotmiser, they were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thats something that is very rare 'Good Customer Service'
