First of all this is sweet finding a Golf fourm populated by cigar smokers. The course is one of my favorite places to share and enjoy a good cigar.
Just got a SkyCaddie personal GPS with the courses loaded. SWEET, only I found with the distance feature that my 260 yard drives were only 230 yards.
I did not think it would help on my home course but it is amazing how often it convinces me to take a longer club. I hit more greens now that I am using it.
I am a 15 but I know many scratch golfers that swear by theirs.

Many are finding the iGolf unit a better value - it doesn't require a subscription for the courses, AND they now have a version for Windows Mobile PDAs and phones thats really inexpensive (but most likely requires an external GPS receiver - I have a bluetooth one that works great).
The advantage SkyCaddie still has is the Intelligreen feature - but only on select courses.

What happened to just looking at the flag and saying: "It's about a 8 iron from here"
Just kidding

I guess all my golfing buddies are cheap. I've never seen one used before.
