How a Golf GPS Improves Your Long Game

A golf GPS is more than a talking electronic device.  It's a sidekick and a mentor.

It acts as a sidekick in the short-term, telling you how far the distance to the hole is, giving you the immediate help when you need it.  It helps you pick the right wood for the par 3 shot and the right driver for the par 4 drive.

In addition to being a short-term sidekick, your golf GPS is a mentor for the long term.  It improves your long game in the yardage sense, but also improves your long game in reference to time.  The more you use your golf GPS, the more you improve in 3 main ways.

Improvement #1: Determining Approximate Yardage on Your Own

After using a device like the Golf Caddie for a while, you become better at determining yardage on your own, at the tee and on the fairway.  How is this possible?  Because as you're listening to your Golf Caddie, you're also learning, often subconsciously.  Even though you don't realize it, every time you use your Caddie to determine distance, you're improving your own self-judgment on the green.

Improvement #2: Having Confidence in Your Approximation

After you play a few dozen games with your golf GPS, you'll begin approximating the hold distance yourself before pressing the button on your device.  When this starts happening, you know you no longer need a sidekick.  All you need is reassurance.  And a device like the Golf Caddie is glad to take on this role.

The more you play with your Caddie, the better you'll become at determining distances and having confidence in your own judgment.  When you guess 250 yards and your GPS says 255, your confidence will soar. 

Improvement #3: Hitting the Ball Where You Want It

As the Caddie helps you become a better judge of distances, you'll find yourself hitting the ball closer to where you want it.  Golf is a game of distance and, the better you are at determining distance on your own, the better you are at reaching your mark, whether it's a blue flag or chosen spot on the fairway.
