Sureshot Axis GPS Watch An idea many golfers like is wearing a watch to measure distances using a GPS link and the Axis watch comes preloaded with 38,000 courses plus a builtin scorecard. The stylish Axis has metal buttons and several display options including yardage to the center, front and back of the green and a separate display mode showing the green layout plus of course the time. Priced at $199 it also offers shot distance measuring.
Blue Tees Series 3 Rangefinder Cutting edge software, top quality construction and a weatherproof hard-shell carrying case make the Blue Tees Series 3 Max Rangefinder a favorite. It adjusts for uphill and downhill shots with an on/off switch to make it tournament legal plus it vibrates when the laser locks on the pin. The unit itself is water resistant with a magnetic strip to keep it handy between shots on your cart and the price is golfer-gift friendly at $259.99.
Sureshot PINLOC 6000 Series Rangefinders There are three models in this series from MGI Golf all with 6x magnification and a magnetic case with improved battery life. The basic 6000iM is $229 with a scan mode and the 6000iPM adds a tactile pulse feature to let the user know when it has locked on the target. The 6000iPM is $259. The 6000iPSM is priced at $299 with all the features of the other two in the series and the addition of on/off slope measurement. MGI Zip Navigator Electric Caddy The Zip Navigator ($1,495) from MGI is a battery powered electric caddy with a remote to control forward or reverse direction and also allows the user to match the unit’s speed to his or her walking pace. Featuring patented gyroscope technology, the Zip Navigator safely hauls clubs up or downhill and over uneven terrain. Designed with a fourth wheel for added stability that folds out of the way when not needed, the Zip Navigator weighs 35 lbs. and it folds to fit in any car trunk. 38
