The Sureshotgps has been developed and produced by Tee2Green Technologies Pty Ltd in Melbourne Australia. It was developed to answer the age of old question of "How far to the pin?" With this latest handheld device distances can be measured from the tee to the front, center and back of the green together with up to fifteen hazards. The specially designed colour, backlit screen with polarized filter displays distances in either yards or metres. The device is capable of holding up to 10 courses and can be used on any course worldwide subject to local rules in accordance with the ruling provided by the R&A and the USGA in a statement dated 27th September 2005 and effective from the 1st January 2006.
Courses are available for downloading from the company website or a player can map their course using the Sureshotgps. The recorded information can then be stored on the device and/or stored and uploaded to the company website. Course information on the website is catergorised as user mapped or professional mapped. Professionally mapped courses have been mapped be a Tee2Green staff member.
