IntelliGreen Pro And Hole View Highlight New Technologies
Unveiled For SkyCaddie SG5 And Entire Family Of SkyGolf Rangefinders
2009 Innovations For Golf's Leading Rangefinder Designed To
Enhance The Golfer's On-Course Experience
RIDGELAND, Miss., SkyGolf, one of the fastest growing companies in golf
and maker of SkyCaddieŽ, the #1 Rangefinder in Golf, and the industry's
only GOLD
recipient in the 2009 Golf Digest "Hot List" for GPS
rangefinders, today unveiled IntelliGreen Pro and Hole View, two new
technologies that will be offered in the popular SkyCaddie SG5, as well
as the Company's entire family of rangefinders. These new innovations
are part of a series of advanced features that SkyCaddie is debuting in
2009, further establishing the Company's position as the industry leader
in rangefinders. New 2009 features and enhancements include:
IntelliGreen Pro: SkyCaddie now offers a Pro version of its patented
IntelliGreen technology that displays and provides measurements to all
major green contours, false fronts and mounds. From tee to green,
golfers will know if they have attributes of the green that presents
challenges requiring adjustments in their approach shots. Just move the
IntelliGreen crosshair to the contour lines on the display to know
instantly the distance to reach and the depth of each tier, mound or
false front. Such detailed green information is made possible because of
SkyGolf's unique ground mapping methodology. While its acclaimed
IntelliGreen helps golfers hit more greens, IntelliGreen Pro helps
golfers pinpoint their approach shots by providing information on greens
that has only been available to the most elite players in the world.
Auto Course Selection and Auto Hole Advance: Just turn on the SkyCaddie
and it will find the course you are playing without touching another
button. As you complete each hole, the SkyCaddie also advances to the
next hole automatically to provide virtually hands free operation
throughout the round.
Hole View: The SkyCaddie can also provide a bird's eye view of each hole
on the tee or anytime during the play of the hole to see the challenges
you face. Customize your preferences to present this feature
automatically or a one button push gets this view on demand.
Digital Scorecard: Golfers can keep track of their rounds with the
SkyCaddie Digital Scorecard. Handicap holes automatically highlight on
the digital scorecard with the option of keeping score on a gross or net
method. Higher handicappers have the option of using a new MyPar option
and the SkyCaddie's Digital Scorecard adjusts to the par of each hole to
a personal par to help golfers achieve personal goals such as breaking
80, 90 or even 100 for the first time.
"The innovative enhancements for SkyCaddie reinforce SkyGolf's
commitment to provide recreational golfers with the most reliable, most
accurate and most complete information in the game," said Richard
Edmonson, CEO, SkyGolf. "Because golfers of all skill levels deserve the
same reliability demanded by TOUR players, we never take shortcuts when
it comes to our customers. IntelliGreen Pro is possible because of the
ability to gather information with our unique ground mapping methodology
and a clear example of how we continue to set ourselves apart from other
rangefinders who opt to use less reliable and less versatile mapping
methods."
