How the GolfBuddy Tour Works

The GolfBuddy Tour offers a number of features that help you take your golf game to the next level. The score tracking feature, for example, lets you record up to 1,000 rounds, and includes tags for the course and date. This helps you calculate your handicap and track your progress over time.

The GolfBuddy Tour also calculates the Actual Distance 'YOU Hit' with Each Club--a critical component for lowering your scores. Just mark your starting position, hit your shot, and walk to where the ball landed.

And to help "YOU Improve Your Course Management Skills"the GolfBuddy Tour tracks your distance from the green (front, center, and back) at all times and the distance of all in-play hazards.

The unit lists every item that can affect your play, even if you can't see it from your present location. The GolfBuddy Tour even provides the lay-up (approach) and carry distances for each hazard, so you'll know how to effectively bypass the ponds and sand traps that lay in wait.

Perhaps the coolest feature, however, is The Automatic Course Recognition. Rather than requiring you to sort through thousands of pre-loaded courses, the GolfBuddy Tour automatically locates your course and hole the minute you turn it on. This helps you keep your mind focused on your game rather than your GPS unit.

Additional features include the ability to add up to 11 custom targets per hole, a storage capacity of 20,000 courses, a tough water-resistant housing, a multilingual menu, and a lithium-polymer rechargeable battery. The GolfBuddy Tour--which doesn't require any annual or course download fees--comes with a 90-day warranty.

BUY GOLFBUDDY TOUR

This has made my golf so much more fun. There is nothing like the confidence in KNOWING which club to pull out of the bag. You turn it on as you get your gear out of your car and that is it. It knows which course you are on and give you the yardage to the first hole with out any further intervention.

I just clip it onto my bag and go. It has some other feature that I may learn to use over time, but the yardage it what I really needed. Why pay a yearly fee for other brands? Why be limited to five courses stored at a time? Even my local 9 hole course was pre-installed, of course I checked for my favorite courses on the web site first, they were all included already.
