Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG5 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, gives more info than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, it gives the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum bound you have behind the green, plus you may be able to change to get the 3rd distance of the estimated flag place. All three distances are provided at the same time from any direction as you approach the green. You may be able to then frame your shot in a much bigger target area and choose the best club. You’ll hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can supply.
