Score Tracking
Holds up to 1,000 rounds of golf-with our unique scoring application you can record your score on each hole that you play. The unit will remember each course you play, the date you played and the score you shot. If you play every day, it will take you up to three years to fill the scoring feature. Use this feature to relive the great courses and the great rounds that you played. In summary it records the date the score and the courses played.
Remaining Distance Display to the Green
At any / all times, the GolfBuddy is aware of exactly how far you are from the green. The amount of distance remaining to the hole is the key to choosing the proper club and choosing the right approach to the green. The Golfbuddy offers the "Distance Remaining" information from your location, no matter where that may be on the course. The distance is always in a straight line from your current position to the front, center, and back of the green. The displayed information on GolfBuddy is always in the horizontal plane. In other words, elevations are never calculated. The Golf Buddy is designed to confirm to USGA / RNA rulings regarding distance measuring devices, in which the devices may only display information that can be readily found on the course by other means.
Calculate Shot Distance
1) Measuring Your Last Shot
The GolfBuddy allows you to calculate your "Shot Distance" with the touch of a button. Set your current position (the place you shot from), using the Mark Button (located on the side of the unit). Proceed to your ball location. As you travel towards your ball, the distance value updates until you arrive at your ball location.

2) Calculate How Far You Hit Each Club
Using the GolfBuddy as a training aid can help improve your game as well. Most golfers do not know how far they typically hit shots using each of the clubs in their bag.To figure the "Shot Distance" for each club, stand in one location and hit a few balls using the same club. Now using the technique as above, mark your current location then proceed to the cluster of balls you just shot until you are standing in the approximate center of the cluster. This will give you a distance which represents the approximate "shot Distance" for that club. Repeat the process for each club in your bag until you know your hitting distance for each club.

3) Using Shot Distance in Practice
Having trouble with your "in between" distances? Often you are faced with a shot which requires you to take a modified swing to make the shot. (i.e. choking up on the club, taking a softer swing, lower your back-swing point etc)

The GolfBuddy can assist with these as well. Using the Mark Button, start from the center of the green or some other target location, measure off the distance until you are positioned at one of these "in between" shots.Now practice hitting from this location using your modified swings. The GolfBuddy is more than just your "distance to the hole" indicator. It is a valuable tool with any / all distance requirements you may have with all aspects of your game.
Remaining Distance Display to Targets
1) Hazard Avoidance
The various natural and man made hazards on the course make up the character of the course and give the golfer varying levels of difficulty. Knowing where these hazards are, and how to avoid them can eliminate strokes from your game. The GolfBuddy displays distance values for each of the "in play" hazards, as well as aspects of the terrain which affect shot selection and course management. Golf Buddy lists all items which can affect your play, even if you cannot see them from your present location.

2) Layups and Carries
Knowing the location of a hazard is only one part of the equation. To effectively avoid the hazard you need to know the Lay-up (approach) distance, as well as the distance to pass the item (carry distance). The GolfBuddy gives you each of these values when required. The GolfBuddy is designed to offer you a variety of information screens so that you are constantly aware of every distance.
Golf Course Customization
Add up to 11 targets per hole instantly - need to know where the perfect lay-up is? You can mark 11 new positions on every hole that you play. We have already targeted the bunkers, hazards, 150, 100 yard markers and green, but if you need more, feel free to add 11 more targets in addition to what is provided.
Continuous Distance Updates and your current position.
The GolfBuddy starts measuring distance values from the moment it is turned on. It displays these numbers to you at any / all times. There is no need to "re-fresh" or update the screens, it does that continually for you. All you have to do is look at the screen when you need it. On the target bar, the solid black line indicates the selected target and the shaded gray area along the bottom indicates your current position.
Automatic Course and Hole Recognition
Your golf game begins before you even hit that first drive. You start by knowing which golf course you are going to be playing at. Well the same holds true for the Golf Buddy.

1) Auto Recognition Of The Current Course
Using the GPS technology it was created with, it can determine which course you are at without you having to select from a long list of available courses. This Auto Recognition of the course can also eliminate confusion when playing at a location which features multiple courses. (i.e. A course with two 18 hole rounds: Champion's Courses, and Legacy Course)

2) Auto Recognition Of The Current Hole
The GolfBuddy tracks your position no matter where you are on the course, including which hole you are currently positioned to play. This feature also comes in handy in tournament play as you may have to start from a "Shotgun" location somewhere out on the course. (i.e. From the 11-th Tee, or other tournaments and events with a structured theme, whereby you play only the par 3's.)

The Auto Recognition feature makes sure you know exactly where you are at all times!

Golf Buddy tour + Golf cart mount 07/09/2009 - by Joe from Waynesboro, VA US
I have used my golf buddy tour on 4 corses and found it very easy to use while it provided all the yargdage+ in info that i needed. I was surprise that the on some courses the yardage markers were not correct.As expected it saved me the time of hunting down yardage markers. I have already recommended it to afriend who has also purchased a golf buddy
Golf Buddy Tour GPS 05/11/2009 - by Jeff Polles from Papillion, NE US
I received a Golf Buddy Tour (GB) 6 weeks ago and have used it 20+ times. The directions for how to get the unit to computer interface with the website are poorly written and, though, they say they can add a course in 2-4 weeks they have yet to add three that I requested. That said, I will state that I am very satisfied with the GB on the course. It boots up in about two minutes and recognizes what course and hole it is on. I have played numerous rounds with others using the SkyKaddie, and a laser range finder and have found the GB to be within a yard or two of those devices. The yardages to and over hazards are very accurate and helpful and I like the ability to read a yardage to a hole even if I can't see the green. My wife has a SkyKaddie 5.2 and the GB performs as well and doesn't need to be preloaded with the course I am playing and I don't have to pay the annual fee that she pays. All in all a good golf GPS and I would recommend it.
