Summary: Sky Caddie SG5
Comment: This is the best thing in golf since round balls.
It will cut your score (no lie)and I'm the world's
worst golfer. It makes the game fun, fast and its
easy to use. Thank you Sky Caddie. We're taking you
on vacation tomorrow for a week and can't wait.

Summary: SkyCaddie SG5
Comment: This is a wonderful item (Sky Caddie SG5) to help in choosing your club selection for hitting shots from 150 yards into the greens. This product is also very easy to use - it was a little confusing setting up an account with Sky Golf on the computer the first time, but after that it has been easy to add and delete courses from the unit.

Summary: Love the iGreen button
Comment: I can't play golf without my SkyCaddie. The iGreen button is really cool. You can move the center green target to any point on the green. I have all the numbers I need to hit more greens and avoid bunkers! Anyone struggling with their short game needs this feature.

Summary: Stroke Saver
Comment: I recently bought the SG5 and have used it for 8 rounds. I also own a Bushnell range finder (without pin seeker). I find the SG5 much more useful. The biggest advantage is knowing the distance to the front, middle and back of the green from any angle of approach. Blind or uphill doesn't matter a bit. I'm learning exactly what swing it takes to go different distances from 100 yards in. The layup distances are very helpful. My third time out using it I shot the best round of my life.
I am still carrying the Bushnell, but have only used it once since I got the SG5. Every course in my area (DE) that I play has been mapped and is available for download. All those on my planned golf vacation next week are mapped. I looked up some courses I have played in Phoenix and Florida and they were already mapped. You can check their website to see if the courses you normally play are done.
I bought the car charger so I can plug it in my car and not risk forgetting and leaving it home on charge. This has worked out great.
Its also helped me learn exactly how much carry I can expect on a good shot which has helped me get the ball closer to the pin or given me a shorter chip. My handicap has dropped from 13 to 11 so far.
My only wish would be that you could download the courses to your computer and then transfer them to the SG5 without the annual membership. I would be willing to pay a few bucks for to add an additional course I was going to play when I download it. 95% of the time I play the same 10 or 15 courses.
Overall - this thing ROCKS.
