Golf Buddy Tour GPS Range Finder Review
It is a fine unit and works fairly well. The major selling points are nice color screen, NO annual subscription fees, 20,000 courses preloaded, free course updates, and automatic course recognition.
The easy feature is that you don’t have to select the course either. When you get to the course, it figures out what course you are at when in auto mode.
The yardages are exactly the same as the Skycaddie, but you don’t need to pay $50 a year for the same yardages like Skycaddie. But, It doesn’t have a great deal of subscription rates you get with other GPS’s. Not only is the color screen easy to read and shows up in any lighting, the size of the Golf Buddy is perfect. The skycaddie looks like a walkie-talkie while the golf buddy looks like a sleek electronic gadget.
It helps to find the front / back of the green measurements. It really increases your comfort level when picking your club. Overall, it’s a good chunk of money to put out but, well worth it. It’s the same amount you would pay for a good driver, but with the GB Tour, you use it on ever hole.
You will not be disappointed with the GBT. It instantly recognizes the place where you stand. From #1 tee, it gives accuarate distances to the programmed targets. No syncing, no adding courses, just turned the thing on. Even on an overcast day and a rainy day, the GBT gives yardages.
Adding your own target, measuring your shots, and keeping track of your score are all very easy. The skycaddie has about 6-7 buttons while the GBT only has two main buttons. It’s a synch to use. Apple might as well have invented the thing.
You’ll love it. Spend the extra money up front. If you are a wife or girlfriend, get this for the man in your life. He will be amazed that you made the right choice on the best golf GPS there is!
