 Convenient, but lacking accuracy. July 20, 2008
Used this about 10 times already on a couple of local courses.
Pros:
-Very convenient, finding out the yardages just takes a quick glance
-rugged waterproof casing
-good belt clip design, very secure
Cons:
-Relatively inaccurate. About 2 out of 18 holes will show very inaccurate readings. Eg, it would show 130 yards when clearly, the distance to the hole is only 75.
-Drifting readings. Not sure what the cause of this is, but after getting to the ball, the readings would slowly drift down or up, it could take at least 10 seconds for the readings to stabilize
-Poor battery life. I only get about 6-10 hours.
-Poor screen quality
-Lack of hazard information
The big killer was the inaccuracy. What use is a distance aid if you don't know when to trust it? Will be returning this for the bushell pinseeker 1500.
 Robert July 18, 2008
This is a great device. I love the way it advances to the next obstacle. My friends have the other device (Sky Caddie) and it just does not measure up to the Golf logic. It could only be improved if it came as a rechargeable unit. I get five rounds before I replace the batteries.
 Disappointed July 8, 2008
When I first bought this product, it worked very well. Then I went to the site for updates and that is when things went down hill. I spend 18 holes on a regular basis searching for a damn sattelite. They sent me a new gps, I installed it and loaded the courses, still searching for a sattelite. One of the tech's had the nerve to suggest I cut it on and leave it outside all night! You gotta be kiddin' me. When it's working it is cool, but when it's bad, it's worse. I truly wish I could get my money back, because this is disappointing. I live in Jersey City, NJ and you suggest I leave it outside all night? ROFL, it aint even funny!
disappointing purchase July 5, 2008
Unfortunately, the golflogix I purchased was inoperable and I had to have the Garmin company send a new one and return the other one. We were not able to use the golflogix for a father's day golf tournament.
Incredibly Accurate July 3, 2008
I've used the GolfLogix now for 4 rounds at 4 different courses. I'm finding that it is quite accurate in the yardage but even more importantly, it shows how far I have to hit it to get over the water, bunker, hazard, etc. Switching to one more/less club can make a huge difference in your score on one hole. I recommend the extra few dollars for a year's access to download courses to the device.
