Designed for avid golfers who want advanced capability in a light, compact and rugged form, the SkyCaddie SG2 Golf GPS gives you an eagle's view of each hole from anywhere on the course. In addition to getting distances to bunkers and other hazards on the course, the SG2 is equipped with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling you to measure the full depth and shape of the green from any angle of approach, both on or off the fairway. Part of SkyCaddie's exclusive, professional 4-Star SkyCourses, IntelliGreen graphics provide an eagle's eye view of the green with an indicator representing a direct line-of-play from wherever you are on the course. The SkyCaddie is as easy to use as a remote control or cell phone. If all you want are distances to the green, just turn it on and you won't need to touch another button throughout your round. The SG2 automatically advances to the hole you're on and displays the same information you'd find on a sprinkler head, regardless of where you hit your ball.
With an annual SkyPlayer Club Membership Plan (not included with purchase of device), you can easily download thousands of our professionally enabled SkyCourses. Three different levels of memberships are available, based on how many courses you want to store and play. If you do not want a membership and your course is not already available, you can record the front, center and back of each green with your SkyCaddie's quick set-up module, which takes about 10 seconds.
The SG2 has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. A full charge of a depleted battery only takes 3 to 4 hours and typically lasts up to 10 hours of continuous use.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG2 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SG2, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more useful information than just the distance to the pin alone. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, this provides the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of the approximate flag location using a pinsheet supplied by your course or visual observation. All three distances are provided simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You can then frame your shot in a much larger target area and select the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can provide.
Q: Does the SG2 automatically come with the courses I want?
A: No, but you have two ways to get the courses you want. First, the SG2 includes a special feature to make it very easy (less than 10 seconds on the green of each hole) to set up your course to measure distances to the green. SkyCaddie also offers three modestly priced membership plans that offer a number of benefits and access to course information on thousands of professionally mapped courses through the SkyGolfGPS website.
