Garmin G5 Handheld Golf GPS Offers A Bright Waterproof Touchscreen
August 3rd, 2020
There are few things in life that are better than a new toy that is not only fun to use, but also useful. Ask any golfer and they’ll tell you that they play the game because it’s a great way to relax; yet all the cursing and broken club heads you find on courses across the country tell a different story. Take the stress out of the game and add a little more fun with the Garmin Approach G5 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS. The handheld golf GPS from Garmin features a rugged, waterproof design with a 3-inch touchscreen display that be read even in direct sunlight. Garmin’s GPS unit comes preloaded with U.S. golf courses including fairways, greens, and hazards.
In addition to mapping out courses for you, the Garmin helps golfers map the distance to the green to eliminate guesswork from their shots and also keeps score for up to four players. A good deal of golf gps devices are available on the market, so deciding the right device for each individual will depend on the number of features included on each model. This particular Garmin model is among the more expensive, costing over $300. While the vast majority of online reviewers had nothing but positive remarks about the Garmin Approach G5 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS, several reviewers were less than impressed. The biggest complaint from many reviewers was that despite claims that the Garmin golf gps unit could be read in direct sunlight, it was actually very difficult to view outdoors. A golf GPS unit can be a very handy addition to any golfer’s bag. While purists may complain it takes away from the spirit of the game, many would enjoy it as simply a tool for enhancing the game’s enjoyment.

Garmin Golf GPS Handheld Eliminates Guesswork From Your Game
March 15th, 2020
Golf is a hard enough game without having to complicate it anymore. And while handheld GPS devices are making tracking distances easier for golfers everywhere, deciding which one to buy with all the options now available can be harder than trying to read a double-breaking putt. However, out of all the available units, the one that might be raising the most eyebrows is the Garmin Approach G5 GPS Handheld for simply one reason: Massive amounts of pre-loaded available course data. The Garmin has over 14,000 courses loaded on to it. Some other handheld GPS devices can only hold up to 10 courses at any given time.
These courses come at no annual fee, and new maps become available for free download online all the time. Although it has some other nice features included that not all GPS devices carry, such as a very pretty looking touch screen display, the fact that it’s waterproof, and the ability to show distances to and from anywhere on the course, it is pretty similar to other GPS devices as far as distance accuracy. The interface too, although not the simplest, is still very close to the top in terms of ease of use. So, in summary, what the Garmin Golf GPS Handheld truly offers compared to other GPS units is potential: The potential to play almost anywhere, at any time, and without a lot of hassle.

Formosa Golf Cart Enclosure Is A Drivable All Weather Golf Cart Cover
January 24th, 2020
United States postal workers claim to complete their rounds regardless of snow, sleet, rain, and dark of night, and one conversation with a dedicated golf enthusiast would leave you believing they feel the same emotions. Mother Nature doesn’t always appreciate an individual’s golf plans, raining on their parade and threatening their enjoyment. While you can’t stay dry while teeing off or finishing off a long putt for birdie, you can at least stay dry between shots with these Formosa Covers Golf Cart Enclosures. This particular model is designed for two-seater golf carts and allows individuals to see where they are going while being protected from the elements.
The cart features see through, water resistant panels and a zipper door. The golf cart protector is constructed of 600 D poly and a PVC-coated, water repellant top. The cart cover can be installed by one individual in a matter of minutes. Other golf cart covers are available on the market, but few of them are designed for use while operating the golf cart. While the majority of online reviewers were pleased with the heavy duty Golf Cart Driving Enclosure, not everyone found it to be a good product. The most common complaint was that the cover looked cheap and was not built for the long haul. Also, in contrast with its all weather claims, a few reviewers found that the cover cracked and ripped in colder weather. If you are looking to stay dry and comfortable on a cold, rainy day at the links, consider investing in the Golf Cart Driving Enclosure. It provides good value for the price.

October 8th, 2019

Alternative models run from $68 to as much as $300, with varying features in comparison to this model. Many online reviewers were happy with their purchase of the uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf, but a large portion of those who reviewed the item found too many faults to give it a good rating. The most common complaints were a lack of courses available in uPro’s database, poor battery life, and units that froze the first time they were used. Casual golfers who are also fond of exciting technological tools may find the golf GPS system from uPro to be an exciting addition to their golf bag.
