Golf Electronics

OVERALL SCORE:  4/5

This is one of the few emerging GPS devices that help you determine yardages on the course.  It is the 5th iteration of the device.  I have used Golf SkyCaddie SG1, SG3, SG4 (but not SG2) and this version is superior to each.  It has a couple of drawbacks for a golf electronic, bu, overall, i would recommend it for a golf GPS device.
