There’s one on-course necessity that all golfers covet, regardless of their handicap index: accurate yardage.
Luckily, modern golfers have an array of devices to choose from, from handheld laser devices to GPS smartwatches.
Smartwatches are a great option for players who are already used to wearing a wristwatch. They’re also handy because they’re basically impossible to lose, unless of course you opt to take it off mid-round.
In addition to measuring to-the-yard accuracy, many GPS smartwatches also offer full-color display views of the particular hole you’re playing, as well as carry distances to intermediate targets and a look at hole locations.
They’re also available at a numerous price points, starting at $129.99, so there’s an option for virtually every budget.
