The information introduced is correct & I like the ability to mark a spot on the fairway & decide the distance from my present position to that particular spot, then from that spot to the green. On a Par five, I can mark a spot about 100 yards from the green then know what club to make use of to place my second shot there, allowing an simpler following approach shot in to the green with a full swing. It is also helpful on the tee to decide distances to land the ball past a hazard or in a preferred area of the fairway.
I like this product. Bought it recently & have used it very a dozen times. It is simple to make use of, sturdy, & effective. The AA batteries last several rounds & can get replaced in mid-round without losing your scoring information. You also receive a warning when the batteries are low.
Overall, I like the product & it's helped me to score better, on courses that are new to me. So far, it's had every work I have played in Virginia, Florida, & Michigan in its database. I recommend this product.
On the negative side, the display is made to be read in full sunlight. When it is cloudy or you are in the shade, I find the display less readable & move to the sunlight to receive a crisper view of the information. Also, on short distances in to the green, I have over one time hit it to the back or even past the green & think that the distance indicated could be a bit longer than the actual distance.
