SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf

I wish I were a golfer! Unfortunately I am not! One day when I was testing my expertise on this seemingly uninteresting game for a novice like me, I came across the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf… It is indeed a sheer piece of eye candy immersed in the serum of technology! Do I sound a bit poetic? Perhaps but I really can’t help! My friend who was trying to teach me the ABC of the game suddenly pulled out this little device from his pocket and it seemed that the little fellow who came out of the pocket was attractive enough to grab his attention and pull it away from me! As usual, my curious ugly brain acted and my mouth responded with several questions. He gave it to me and my response was, “OUCH…It’s a feather!”

Indeed! The SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf is something that demands praise! It is one of the lightest rangefinders you will come across in this world! Surprisingly, it weighs only 3.8 oz! It is small, it is light but still, it has a fair amount of technical expertise working behind it in a perfect harmony! This little fellow has actually succeeded in patenting the IntelliGreen technology! This wonderful piece of technology is actually capable of providing a vivid and wide range of features that becomes handy for the golfers and in particular, the golfers find this technology to be very helpful in measuring the full depth and the shape of the green topography of their gaming kingdom from whichever angle they choose! And guess what? This is possible on the fairway and off the fairway! That sounded impossible to me and my friend and guide took no time to give a hands-on experience of the proclaimed truth! Still I wonder! As an added advantage, the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf helps in getting the distances to the hazards and the bunkers, which appear on course!

My findings:

Pardon me for any mistakes that I make because I am a novice in this field of gaming and the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf was nothing less than an ultimate surprise for me. Yet, being a techno freak, I figured out some interesting facts about this Golf GPS and perhaps they will entertain and help you in case you are a golfer.

The first thing I noticed was that the device called SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf can successfully rule out a major chunk of guess work from the game and help the golfers to perform better every single time!

The second thing that I found was that people are really hard working! Ahem! I am sorry but yes, it is the fact. The device does not use any satellite mapping. The SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf uses SkyCaddie human mappings for the course data. People actually go to the courses and map every single feature of every single hole hand by hand! Can you imagine that? Ah… that is unbelievable! That is not the end! The information accumulated is then passed through three rounds of valid checks and it is done for every hazard and every hole on the course! Goodness gracious!

Third in line was the knowledge about the display unit of the device. Do you play golf at night? I hope not but yes, the day time light conditions do vary depending on the weather. The manufacturers are aware of that and they gave a gray scale unit for display and they kept the unit large. This was just to ensure that the data is readable in every kind of lighting conditions.

Fourth was the ease of access or the accessibility option. The user interface is really simple and the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf provides single touch controls for the users and not to mention the software packages which are extremely easy to use.

Fifth was the memory option. The device is a real smart chap to me. It can hold the information of 10 courses at any given point of time and also provides an option to increase the memory. Well the more you expand, the more information it holds. Simple!

The Cons of SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf:

Well, as every great person has a bad hidden history, every great piece of technology has a negative side too. Though unknowingly, I came across the facts, which are negative in nature.

The first negative aspect was that the device had no option for saving a particular round and analyzing the same. Some other Golf GPS systems do have this feature.

The second problem is that people complain about poor customer service. Some people faced problems with the software installation on windows PC and they never received any customer support. Awww… that can be frustrating!

Conclusion:

If you hate flashy buttons and feature, the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf might be the best option for you but even if you do like some flashy stuff but ready to compromise when it comes to sophisticated features with easy usage, the SkyCaddie SG2.5 Golf has indeed no other competitor which can make you think. Now I dream on becoming a golfer just to use this BLACK HOLE of golfing technology!
