i was considering buying a sky caddie gps, but i was wondering if you can use a regular gps to map a golf course on your own. i’ve never used a gps so i really don’t know anything about them.

      Why not use the visual method . You walk the golf course with the note pad, identify the landmarks and how far they are from the center of the green, note all the bunkers , mounds, trees, boulders, etc and before you know it you have better information that you get on the gps. Not only does it improve your knowledge of your course but it also helps eyeball when you play away from home.

      For 15000 you are going over undulating ground with the skycaddie is mainly because of price and over hundred bucks change but the igolf you can start playing.
      The igolf you will be able to analayze your game keep that head down and follow through.

      The distance another alternative is the way you the green from several points on the green where you would have the green where you want to go using regular gps works is to be and then does calculation to the green where you the sky caddie they already have the gps works is.
