That’s where using the new GolfBuddy World Platinum comes into play.
GolfBuddy World Platinum is the fastest, most reliable way to get accurate distances on the course and with a bright LCD touchscreen, Direct Overhead Hole Imaging and clear yardage displays, the golfer can instantly see how far it is to and from any point on the hole.
And because the GolfBuddy World Platinum combines true GPS and TouchPoint instant measuring with mapping courses on foot, the distances shown are supremely accurate.
In practice
I like to get my pupils to hit 10 good shots with each club. We then press the GolfBuddy World Platinum’s ‘mark’ button and walk to the centre of their shot cluster to get a yardage reading.
For players who are really serious about their wedge play you can record how far quarter swings hit the ball, half swings, three quarter swings and full swings. If a player carries three wedges, this functionality gives them 12 distance readings in total and that's pretty useful!
On the tee
I’ve often stood the tee with a pupil and watched them hit driver into a fairway bunker, to be met with: “I always do that.” There’s a simple reason – they haven’t got the firepower to fly it, but think they have.
This scenario changes dramatically after they’ve used a GolfBuddy World Platinum. Once they know their club distances, we can talk properly about laying up and giving themselves a much easier second shot – or being aggressive where the opportunities arise to do so.
Around the green
The GolfBuddy World Platinum’s Touch ‘n’ Move function allows you to position the flag anywhere on the green and get exact yardages to it, as well as the front and back of the green.
This essential information enables me to teach the benefits of going past the flag and being left with a safe two-putt, rather than flirting with greenside sand traps.
During the round
With the GolfBuddy World Platinum’s ‘Pro Play’ you can record and analyse playing statistics – from greens in regulation, to percentage of fairways hit, average putts per round and it even calculates Stableford scores. It’s another piece of excellent GolfBuddy technology that heralds a new dawn for distance measuring devices.
