Golf Hand-Held GPS

Golf GPS Devices for Your Game

GPS devices provide golfers with valuable insight before they make their shot and help them make the most of their rounds. Use a golf GPS to better navigate the course ahead and precisely measure the distance between player, ball and hole.

Golfers can use the devices to track putts per round, sand saves and other stats and scores. GPS devices also come with pre-loaded course maps, just as golfers would play them.

Ensure that the GPS is easy to carry on the course. GPS devices are available with belt clips or attached to a band for wristwatch-like wear. More modern devices can slide in a pocket alongside a cell phone. Shop all golf electronics from DICK'S Sporting Goods.

Golf GPS devices provide difference-making details to enhance performance.

For maximized play, golfers need reliable and accurate technology in a GPS. Information provided by the GPS can include distance to targets, front carry and back green distance as well as hazards that might be in the way.

Consider these factors when purchasing a golf GPS:

• Maximum range
• Minimum range
• Slope calculation
• Battery life
• The size of the device
• The clarity of the GPS display

Selecting the best golf GPS watch or golf rangefinder adds confidence to any golfer's game.

Many devices show displays of vivid, vibrant maps of the course and even touch-screen technology. Other models are more simplistic in design. Ensure the device is easy to use while out on the course.

Think about how the GPS or watch is powered for maximum use: Devices are available as rechargeable or alkaline battery operated. Consider purchasing a GPS that is waterproof for durability in the elements.
