After thinking about it for too long and getting too many distances from other (I never asked :o )
I went out and got a Golf Buddy WT3 -

So test in am - the truth about distances will be seen.

No will be interesting to see if it helps my game. I always claimed to be a look and feel player.

Is that the watch or the handheld? I'm thinking of a DMD myself.

And I'm pretty sure you can ask distances.

You can ask or get distance afaik but he can't give advice.

I.e asking your opponent if it's 150 to the flag is ok.
Asking him if it's a 7 or 8 iron isn't.

Distance is a fact and is therefore allowable. 7 or 8 is opinion and therefore considered advice.

@Fix - can't believe you gave in and bought one. Is nothing sacred anymore !!

I give in - in the end. I always do.

It was just , I was playing other courses a good bit.
Some are poorly marked.

Also at a stage I need to know wedge distances.

will see not convinced my scores will drop.

Picked up a WT3 at Xmas and so far I'm very happy with the info it provides. It takes most of the indecision out of your shot making when it tells you the distances to your target including hazards. Especially great when playing away on courses that you would not be familiar with.

All the pros use distances devises so why not! I think the garmin S3 on amazon is a steal! got mine last wk and used it the wkend even though I got drowned I taught it was great and defo saved me a few shots and help you choose what club to play much quicker!

I was without my watch on an away course last week, mightn't have slowed me down much but I was running to check distances as others hit. Definitely makes for a more pleasant round (and probably does knock time off).

How much was the S3?
I have the S1 and don't think I could justify the price difference. Does it give more info than front, middle, back?

I was looking at the S1 but prefered something that can give you a fly over it was £99 works out €120 p&p you have to get battries or invest in rechargables which I have yet to do.

It gives you lay up distances, measure's shots, and you can move the flag around the green for F, M, B are even side to side etc thats all you need IMO. it got great reviews on amazon I read all them 50 + if its golf related Im addicted Defo saves me time and saves a few shots I feel less stressed if that makes sense. I'm a distance man were my mates are just look guys knowwonder were all high HC's!

Bought an Orange Whip trainer last week. Not sure how it's going to help me but it seems to give me better feel for the swing.

Bought a set of Wilson Ci11 irons off Adverts last night for €150. In immaculate condition. Hit them for the first time tonight at the Spawell range. Madly in love.

Just getting back into the game after a couple of years away, I'm a high handicapper...

Selling:
Callaway X14's 1, 3-PW & SW,
Mizuno Driving Iron 18 degree
Big Bertha 1 wood
Old Callaway bag...

Replacing with:
Ogio Bag
MD, NV Drew Wedges - 56 & 60
Callaway Razr X HL 4-PW, graphite shafts

I want to get serious about breaking 100... The new clubs aren't likely to do it, but we'll see if they're a bit more forgiving...
