Global Positioning System technology, shortened to GPS, is a satellite-based
navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by
the U.S. Department of Defense. Originally intended for military
applications, the GPS system has now become a widely used aid for navigation
worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying for commerce and
scientific uses as well as to determine the precise location of a vehicle,
person, or other asset, such as a golf ball in relationship to hazards or
the greens on a golf course. The recorded location data can be stored within
the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location data base,
or internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS), radio, or satellite
modem embedded in the unit. The more advanced devices for aviation, marine
and golf GPS systems are often augmented with other packages designed to
allow the user to import maps or charts.
With a golf GPS system golfers now have
the means to quickly and easily determine accurate distances on the
golf course which is imperative for better club and shot to shot
decisions. Golf GPS devices give real time yardages to all critical
targets on the golf course without the golfer having to pace out,
and add, subtract, or guess at distances on each hole. Not only does
a golf GPS help a player calculate the distance from the tee to the
pin, but also helps them know exactly where they are with relation
to features such as water hazards, hidden bunkers, or the green.
InTheHoleGolf.com is confident that by having the correct yardages
supplied by your golf GPS system, you can significantly improve your
golf scores. And at a time when one of the game’s biggest annoyances
remains the pace of play, a golf GPS device will speed up play by
eliminating the need to pace off yardage, to consult a yardage book
or to make ill informed distance decisions that may result in more
wayward golf balls.
Although the USGA and R&A both recently sanctioned in 2007, the use
of satellite-based yardage measuring devices during competition, IN
THE HOLE! Golf recommends that you check with your golf professional
prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event. Golf GPS devices have
always been permitted for handicap scoring in recreational rounds.
Tour professionals retain knowledgeable caddies, recreational
golfers now have their golf GPS system giving them, all with the
touch of a button, the precise distance from their golf ball to any
spot on the course, on the green, to any hazards or trees, plus the
distance to the front, center and rear of any green, as well as the
distance of their last shot. From the beginner who requires just the
distances to the center of the green, to the more advanced golfer
who will appreciate such additional information as distances to
hazards and lay up areas, the various golf GPS systems from IN THE
HOLE! Golf offers advantages to golfers of all skill levels. With
the advent of satellite technology, golf GPS personal hand-held
rangefinders are available for use on numerous golf courses in the
world. Many golf GPS devices hold up to 20 golf course maps. Far
different from other golf yardage devices such as laser range
finders and yardage books, golf GPS results are instant and exact
from any location on the golf course and eliminate the need for
reflective targets or aiming a laser. Never again will you have to
search out markers on the course to estimate your distances! Does
the lay of your ball prevent you from seeing where you want your
next shot to go? There is no problem since golf GPS range finders
even work when the target is not visible.
