What's the best golf GPS device for beginners?
For golfers just starting out, we recommend the Garmin Approach S12 for its excellent battery life and user-friendly interface. It provides essential distance measurements without overwhelming you with advanced features. The simple display shows front, middle, and back distances for over 40,000 golf courses worldwide.
How accurate are golf GPS apps compared to laser rangefinders?
While golf GPS apps have improved dramatically, laser rangefinders typically offer more precise distance measurements (within 1 yard). However, GPS apps like SwingU Golf GPS provide additional benefits such as shot tracking, club recommendations, and full course mapping that rangefinders can't match. Many of our customers use both for optimal performance.
What factors affect carry distance with different clubs?
