The new software also enables golfers to customize data on any specific golf course to fit their own games. In addition, SureShot GPS automatically calculates the center of the green when a player self-maps a golf course, and hybrid golf clubs have been added to the list of individual club lengths and recommendations which players can access during a round of golf if they choose.
The ability of SureShot GPS to be used on any golf course in the world, its advanced features and ease of use have increased greatly the demand for this award-winning device on every continent. Whether traveling or playing a local golf course, any golfer can enhance his game with the extra knowledge and confidence that SureShot GPS provides. SureShot GPS won a PC News Weekly "Editor’s Choice Award" last year for performance and value. It earned a full five-star rating and was noted as a "must-have for serious golfers."
Developed in 2005 by Tee2Green Technologies Pty, Ltd., SureShot GPS is being praised by golfers for its anti-glare color screen, simple user interface and multiple options. The device can depict measurements in either yards or meters for use on golf courses the world over. More and more golfers are adopting SureShot GPS as their product of choice, especially as a 12-month course subscription is included free of charge with purchase. The retail price of SureShot GPS is $399 USD.
SureShot GPS was developed for the global golf market to answer the age-old question: "How far is it to the green?" This advanced handheld device features a specially-designed color, backlit screen with polarized filter that clearly displays distances to hazards and greens. The "Welcome Screen" can be customized for presentation as a corporate or personal gift. Distances can be measured from the tee to the front, center and back of the green, enabling mapping of the front and carry of up to 15 hazards per hole and up to 33 reference points per hole. A player has the ability to tailor his own mapping requirements, whether the selected golf course is professionally or personally mapped, with lay-up points, for example. Another option allows a player to record and analyze statistical information for a round of golf, such as fairways hit, greens in regulation, etc. The device is capable of holding up to ten golf courses on any course worldwide, subject to local rules in accordance with the ruling provided by the USGA and the R&A. Many golfers, both amateur and professional, already have discovered the exceptional qualities and ease of use which SureShot GPS offers.
