A Trickey Distance

When I was playing with one of our members - Paul "Trick"  Trickey I noticed that he kept looking at hiis watch so I shouted across to him "Can't you wait to finish this game" or words to that effect. He replied "No i'm just trying to get used to my Garmin Approach S1 Range finder". 


So this is why Trick is now writing this review.

"I bought this gadget because i had seen other people having to find their range finders from their golf bags making everybody wait to find the distance and then slicing the shot or hitting it out of bounds or into the water, so I thought this is gresat piece of gear as you wear it like a watch 

it also acts like a watch so as I am nearly always late to arrive at golf days it helps to get me there almost on time. The alarm pleases my wife as it gets me out of bed in the morning and she hasn't yet found out that it is a golf gadget 

I was abit worried that some gadgets don't have any courses already loaded on them but this one has over 5000 courses in Europe and there are more being added. I will have to find out if there are any courses on it in Australia so I can use it when I stay with my brother Chris. 

As it is waterproof it will suit me as i have already dropped my mobile phone into a pond and am always having to get my balls out of the water on some courses. Although I have not tried it for that long it says that the Lithium battery will last for 8 hours when using it for range measuring and 30 hours as a watch. The machine comes with a charger and manual which I am still learning what other things you can do with it. After I have learnt about the machine I need to sort out how to hit the ball the length that it is telling me. 

I bought it from Golf247 which is a site that our secretary has added to our site for us to buy gear at good rates with discounts and vouchers
