Also to to get distances to bunkers and other hazards on the course, the SG2 comes with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling you to measure the full depth and form of the green from any angle of approach, both on or off the fairway. Part of SkyCaddie’s exclusive, professional 4 Star SkyCourses, IntelliGreen graphics supply an eagle’s eye view of the green with an display representing a direct line of play from wherever you’re on the course.

The SkyCaddie is as easy to use as a remote control or cell phone. If all you want are distances to the green, just turn it on and you will not have to touch another button during your round. The SG2 automatically advances to the hole you are on and displays the same info you’d find on a sprinkler head, despite of where you hit your ball.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG2 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SG2, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, gives more useful info than just the distance to the pin alone. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, this 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 using a pinsheet supplied by your course or visual observation. 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.

Q: Does the SG2 automatically come with the courses I want?
A: No, but you have two ways to get the courses you want. 1st, the SG2 will include a special feature to make it easy less than ten seconds on the green of each hole to set up your course to measure distances to the green. SkyCaddie also offers three modestly priced membership plans that offer some benefits and access to course info on thousands of professionally mapped courses through the SkyGolfGPS web site.
