Do they make one to judge the depth of the water hazards? That's the one I'd need.

Not all of us play in the fairway where those colored lines are located. :r

A few of the places I play don't have yardage markers. It makes it hard for me to judge the distance. I will be looking at the Golfbuddie, but am leaning towards the SkyCaddie 2.5.

I have a SkyCaddie SG2 that I got on eBay. I like it and I think it helps. Where it does help is when that 1 out 100 times :-) that you're not on your fairway and you need to carry over some trees and bunkers to get to the pin, it will tell you how it is.

I play with a guy that has the same unit as me and a laser rangefinder. He uses the laser to get an actual "to the pin" measurement as the GPS give to front/middle/back of the green.

I didn't even know they courses without yard markers. Guess that would change a few things.

They used stakes, but with all the duffers they were torn down quite a bit. I think they are looking at doing something else, but who knows when. The course was taken over by new management, but they are working on the shooting range portion of the resort now.

I've played on a few courses that are missing yard markers on certain holes...it blows!

I am bidding on a SkyCaddie 2.5 now. I will let you know how it works out.

What's the difference between the use of a GPS Skycaddie and a Digital Range finder?

Do they both produce the same result?
