GPS Kids | Caddy Confidential: New toys for a new season

Hello Garmin Golfers! Well, it appears a few of us have been pretty good this past year as we duffers have been delivered some delicious new treats over the holiday season.

If you haven’t heard the word, Garmin just released the hot new Stat Tracking software for Approach G5. And a few weeks back, we added Approach G3 to the lineup.

The G3 features the same ease-of-use as the G5 and more than 12,000 preloaded courses. Being a touch smaller and lighter than the G5, it’s perfect if you like to walk the course.

The new G5 Stat Tracking software (available for no charge here) lets you track your putts per round, fairways hit, GIR and how far you hit each club – and not just for you, but for every member of your foursome.

So you can now create a list averaging how far you hit each club which, in theory, should help improve your GIR. Or, in the case of this humble caddy, suggest a lesson or two is in order.

Finally, we also added a few thousand more course maps awhile back – and not just in the good ol’ US of A, but for Canada as well! As always, we’re continuing to map out Munis from Texas to Toronto, so check back in often to download the latest courses. (Word on the street is we’re making the jump across the pond to map courses in the Old Country, so stay tuned for details.)

Fans of the Twitter machine can follow @JakesJournal to stay up to speed on all things golf and all things Garmin. ‘Til next time, remember to practice putting on the carpet and chipping in the living room until the weather breaks.
