Yardages, every way you want 'emCharles Darwin once said, "It is not the strongest that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." And SkyCaddie is changing. They understand that some golfers don't want to download courses onto their GPS devices, and that other golfers aren't interested in knowing how far they are from every single point of every single green. That's why, along with their stable of products that read yardages to every target imaginable, they're launching a "
Sport Series" of four stripped-down GPS devices that each come preloaded with 30,000 courses, offer yardages to the front, middle and back of the green, and cost less than $200. The
SkyCaddie Watch ($199) also has an odometer, a calorie counter, five alarms, a stopwatch and more. The compact
SkyCaddie Gimme ($169) has a high-resolution, 2.2-inch screen that displays large numbers. The
SkyCaddie Aire ($129) is about the size of an iPod Nano and can clip onto your belt or bag. And the
SkyCaddie Voice ($150) audibly offers the yardage to the middle of the green when you tap it once and to the front and back when you tap it twice. Best of all, these yardages are based on SkyCaddie's unmatched database of maps. (The products will be available at the end of March.)
