I was talking to one of my friends the other day.  He is one of those snowbirds who is getting ready to head on back to Florida before the snow flies. As we were listening to the weatherman, it sounded like my friend had better be quick to leave the North Country this year if he is going to beat the snow. Anyway, he is planning on doing some serious golfing once he gets down to the Longboat Key area. Of course, that got us to talking about golf GPS and the variety of golf GPS systems available today. It is amazing.

He was especially interested in the new Garmin Approach G5. He was quite impressed with that little touchscreen Garmin golf GPS. You are able to measure distances for your next shot by just touching any point on the sunlight-readable display, and the Garmin Approach G5 shows the precise distance to that exact point. Approach's highly sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints your position and removes guesswork from your game. And as you move the Approach will automatically update your position, so you'll always know your yardage. Slick. No wonder he can't wait to head south for the winter.  Maybe some days I am a little jealous of the snowbirds after all.
