garmin golf logix gps

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome increase in enjoyment of Golf game, April 20, 2009
My son and I used this on a local course for the first time and it performed great.

No more looking for markers or taking the time to walk off an estimate (er, OK - especially when I'm not in the fairway). We have some large greens thankfully and being able to simply move the flag on the device for a much more accurate reading is super.

Also, those few great drives I had - the G5 made it simple to get the exact yardage (did not break any records though). Only 1 of my 7 (regular home area) courses is not programmed in yet but I see it's on schedule in the next update. If yours isn't, simply let Garmin know like I did. Great unit, now if only my golf got better :-)

Update note: Today (4/26) I downloaded Garmins latest course database to the device and now all my courses are available.
