The SkyCaddie® SX500 GPS is SkyGolf’s “20th Anniversary Rembrandt” to celebrate two decades of innovation and pioneering products for golfer improvement. Key features include:
- Golf’s most brilliant display featuring a large 5″ touch screen
- A powerful, ultra-fast multi-core processor for fast response
- A ruggedized, highly water-resistant design
- Cut the Cord! Wireless connectivity to streamline updates and course downloads on demand. No need to connect to a computer or perform massive updates.
- Full HD graphics provide a stunning visual experience
- Preloaded with over 35,000 of SkyGolf’s ground-verified, error-corrected maps for unmatched accuracy
- Super-sized battery for multi-round enjoyment between charges
The SkyCaddie® SX500 comes in a highly water-resistant, rugged design to stand up to most anything that comes its way on the course. With the largest battery in the industry, the SX500 is ready for extended playing time for that emergency 9, or even 18 more holes. Using multi-constellation navigation satellite systems, the SX500 provides enhanced accuracy and overall better performance under tough conditions or tree cover.
The powerful features of the SkyCaddie® SX500 are easily tapped with its large 5″, intuitive touch screen and a host of automated features such as Auto-Course Selection, Auto-Hole Advance and Auto-Zoom, making it almost “touch-free” from the parking lot to the 19th hole. The large HD display combined with HD quality course graphics, only available from SkyCaddie, provide the best view of the most-reliable information in the game to allow you to play your best golf.
Some advanced and exciting new features are debuting in the SX500. For example, , the powerful processor of the SX500 allows SkyCaddie® to introduce Dynamic HoleVue™, which automatically re-orients the entire golf hole from your position to the
green as you progress from the tee. So, by leveraging SkyCaddie’s patented IntelliGreen® technology, golfers can now see the entire hole from their point-of-view to quickly acquire distances to avoid intervening hazards to plot the best strategy for every shot… only from SkyCaddie!
And, the SX500 allows the golfer to track the club, location and distance of each shot in real-time as you play. You’ll know how far you hit every club in your bag, resulting in better game management and lower scores. Improve your game with detailed, post-round analysis using SkyGolf 360 where all your game data is stored, analysed and displayed in easy to see formats and graphs to track your progress and identify areas for improvement
“Since its limited launch late in 2018, we’ve had rave reviews from customers and media alike. We also have 15 players on the European Senior Staysure Tour using the SX500 now, with 2 wins at the end of the 2018 season.”
Here are just a few comments from those who have been using the SX500:
- “The SX500 talks the language of golf and answers the questions you were about to ask.” – L. Nicoll, first time user
- “Playing with the SX500 is like having your own personal caddie in the palm of your hand.” – David Cunninghame, Bunkered magazine
- “The SkyCaddie SX500 is a strategic golfer’s dream come true.” – Jon Sherman, Practical Golfer
Each SkyCaddie product pairs via Bluetooth with a companion App to be compatible with the SkyGolf 360 Cloud Service to eliminate cables. All rangefinders are preloaded with SkyCaddie’s worldwide library of error-corrected golf courses to deliver unmatched accuracy and reliability. Only SkyGolf® walks every course with professional survey-grade equipment to create the most complete and most reliable course maps in the game.
In summary, SkyGolf’s commitment to innovation has created the largest portfolio of game improvement and performance tracking products in golf to help golfers play better, play smarter and have more fun! And each product is built around a single platform, SkyGolf 360, to allow golfers to keep all performance data regardless of whether it comes from a rangefinder, a swing sensor, a performance tracker or a launch monitor in one place rather than scattered among various competitors with incompatible platforms. A single platform is not only to the golfer’s advantage, but it is also to the advantage of a teacher, PGA Professional or reseller to be able to offer all available tools a golfer can need to improve their performance from one source with the confidence their customers are getting the very best solution. Also, SkyGolf 360 is now available to our commercial accounts who can use it to stay engaged with their students and members to find opportunities to offer their help and services as needed.
