 Golf Buddy Pro-- Love this Tool November 11, 2009
Mark A. Perencevic (Buffalo, NY)
I've had my Golf Buddy for 3 months now. I can't comment on the other GPS units out there but Golf Buddy is GREAT!!! I have had no technical problems with my unit. I will advise you this. Before you go to a golf course make sure the course is downloaded into your unit. Just because it's on the Computer Directory it may not be loaded into your unit. I found out the hard way. Checked the computer and there was the course. Arrived at the course and Golf Buddy couldn't find it. Called Golf Buddy and they Emailed me the directions on how to download courses (no charge of course). I am not very good with computers and downloading stuff (that's why God gave us children)but these were very easy to follow directions. I followed them and bingo it worked great. You can also delete courses if you wish (sorry Alaska I don't think I will be coming there to play golf)and add at anytime. The great thing is NO YEARLY FEE'S. Hit'em Long and Stright and enjoy your GOLF BUDDY.
 Yardage is always wrong October 23, 2009
H. Greene
Every time I used it the yardage was wrong. I researched and found that the reason is that they use satelite images and a copy of the scorecard to set distance points. Skycaddy seems to be the only GPS that has people walk every course and that is why it is so accurate. It only holds 10 courses at a time but the yardage is always dead on
 golf buddy pro September 14, 2009
Guy M. Crawford (california, md)
Golf buddy pro didn't work well for me. I purchased two from amazon & best buy. They worked the same, holes 10-18 wasn't automatically recognized. I updated the software from the website as i was advised too by customer service and it still didn't work properly.
 Great for club selection August 14, 2009
Lewis M. Robinette (Conover, N C)
My new Golf Buddy has been a great asset for my golf game.It is especially good for short uphill and partially blind shots because it gives me exact distances. It has helped me cut about five strokes off my average score I am very well satisfied with my new Golf Buddy, I would recomend it for anyone who wants to play better. Thanks
Works very well July 9, 2009
Robby M. Manley
I bought the Golfbuddy GPS pro model and the first time I pulled it out of the box, it didn't have the course I was at. I was a little upset but read in the manual it's a good idea to update it when it's first opened. Once I updated it, which is very easy, I have not had a course show up yet. GPS is very easy to use. No monthly fees which is nice.
Played with a buddy that had the SkyCaddie and iGolf and yardage was about same as all three were different but within a yard. Most of us are not good enough for a yard to affect your play so it's wonderful.
Shot distance is a nice feature as well. You can use it for any club.
I love this product.
