GPS Devices

GPS has revolutionised the way players navigate the course, allowing accurate distance measurements to fairways, greens and – most importantly – hazards.

We recommend having a GPS if you want to make better decisions about club selection and shot placement. We stock compact and powerful GPS devices that attach to your bag or trundler. Some even have speaker capabilities if you enjoy a good tune around the course.

If you want to confidently plan your shot, add a GPS to your golfing arsenal. We wouldn’t be without ours!

Nothing screams convenience like a smartwatch, especially on the golf course. With all your shot analysis technology strapped to your wrist, our smartwatches are the ultimate golfing companion.

Capture essential swing data, track fitness metrics, plan your shots and avoid hazards in one wearable device.

We stock Bushnell and Garmin watches in a range of colours, sizes and price points. If you’re a serious golfer, we highly recommend adding a smartwatch to your equipment set, as their capabilities have the power to revolutionise your game. Some watches, such as the Garmin Approach S70, display over 43,000 golf courses from around the world, allowing you to test your performance on almost any course you like.

Rangefinders

It’s no secret that there are varying degrees of rangefinders out there. But we’ve handpicked our favourites to create the best range for you to choose from.

Rangefinders provide accurate distance measurements on the course. As the easiest way to determine how far you are from a specific point, rangefinders help you make strategic decisions about which club to use and how hard to hit.

We’ve long been big fans of the rangefinder, but technology has come leaps and bounds in recent years, opening up impressive features that take golfing to the next level. Whether you’re looking for a state-of-the-art rangefinder or something a little more budget-friendly, we have something for everyone.

We use an innovative golf simulator for all custom club fittings, ensuring you get the perfect club to complement your swing. The accuracy of the data means we can fit you with a club that considers lie angle, club length and grip size.

Golfers are constantly impressed by our golf simulator as it gives such a detailed analysis of their swing. This software has been a game-changer in custom club fittings!
