Use a GPS for a smarter game


Sky Sports analyst and European Tour coach Denis Pugh believes using a GPS is the best way to plot your way around a course. Here is what he has to say on the GolfBuddy World Platinum…


INSIDE THE WORLD PLATINUM Just some of the incredible features available to you…


Game Stats Analysis Records your scores and playing statistics – including greens and fairways in regulation, putts per hole, sand saves (right).


40,000 Course Memory World Platinum is preloaded with worldwide courses from a 28,000 course library. There are no download or subscription charges.


T


he difficult par-5 5th hole on The Wisley Golf Club ‘Garden’ course is perfect for demonstrating the benefits of using a GPS rangefinder – with four fairway bunkers, a river running adjacent to a narrow fairway


and three traps surrounding a small green. Making par here requires a clear course-management strategy and with the new GolfBuddy World Platinum in my hands, that job is made a whole lot easier. Because the GolfBuddy World Platinum has a touchscreen, which gives


instant TouchPoint readings to and from any point on the hole, I immediately see that the first and second bunkers are definitely in play with a driver at 240 and 265 yards. The big stick is staying in the bag! Touching the screen short of the first bunker gives me a perfect 3-wood


yardage of 220 yards and by using the World Platinum’s ‘Zoom’ function to highlight that section of the hole on its full-colour Overhead Layout, I can instantly see what my next shot should be – a safe rescue club up the fairway. That would leave me a comfortable full-swing sand wedge into the green and not a difficult in-between distance. After a good tee shot finds the middle of the fairway I actually hit my rescue


club too well and I finish a little bit closer to the green than I’d have liked! But no problem, because the GolfBuddy World Platinum has a Touch ‘N’ Move flag function I can position the flag exactly where it is on the green. Combined with the Dynamic Green Approach, which always shows distances to the front, middle and back of the green directly from my angle of approach, I see that there’s room to make a full swing to leave a comfortable two putt. There’s no doubt in my mind that using a GolfBuddy World Platinum will


help you play smarter golf, whatever your handicap. It provides yardages you can trust, the Overhead Hole Layouts give a superb visual reference and because the TouchPoint screen gives you readings to and from any point on the hole, it’s super-easy to plan every shot. Denis Pugh is a Sky Sports analyst and PGA Master Professional.


TouchScreen and Overhead layouts The GolfBuddy World Platinum can display full- hole layouts, with distances to and from any point just by touching the screen (right).


Stableford Scoring Input the handicaps for up to four players and the course stroke indexes, and the World Platinum automatically works out Stableford points for each player.


Dynamic Green Approach Always get yardages to the front and back of the green and to the pin from your angle of approach (right).


TouchPoint Technology Zoom into any section of the hole by touching the screen – or move the flag to any position on the green with your fingertip or a tee peg. No fiddly toggle button.
