Garmin Approach G12 Golf Range Finder

Product Information

Pair with the Garmin Golf app on your compatible smartphone for strokes gained analysis to participate in Leaderboards and tournaments and to gain more data about your game. The unit is quite small, measuring just about 1.8 x 2 x 0.5 inches in size. It weighs a mere 0.96 ounces — practically nothing! Whether or not you choose the G12, remember that any golf GPS device you buy should be able to improve your performance on a wide variety of courses. It’s also incredibly thin at just one inch. It feels incredibly lightweight when you’re wearing it on your belt or hanging it from your bag, so if you decide not to carry it around all day long there’s really no need for worry. Display

You need a GPS rangefinder that is easy to use and offers accurate yardage measurements for each hole. These features include a handy digital scorecard, green view which shows you the shape of the green, and manual pin positioning. Over the years Carly has been fortunate to play some of the greatest courses in the world. Her view ‘from the ladies tee’ is invaluable. She ranks Sea Island, Georgia, USA, where she met her husband, world-renowned golf coach Dan Frost, among her favourite golf resorts. Their aptly-named eight-year-old son Hogan is already hitting the ball as far as Mum and will undoubtedly be a name to watch out for in the future. Your device keeps score so you can always know where you stand. Upload directly to the Garmin Golf app to participate in weekly leaderboards. The Garmin Approach G12 comes with the device, a proprietary charging cable, and a user manual. As someone who’s slightly old school, I appreciate the inclusion of a proper paper manual.It has many of the same golf features like hazard, layup and dogleg distancing, a digital scorecard and green view with manual pin positioning. There are a couple of pretty big differences, though. For one thing the S12 is not tournament legal.

Considering the attached clip, many people will use this on clipped to their belt loop.. I had issues figuring out how to invert the display, so I could easily see distances just by looking down. You can charge your G12 with any USB port, and it’s a good idea to do so before your first round. You can also sync it to the Garmin app for course updates. Garmin’s app is excellent, and the syncing takes less than a minute. You can use it to manually input the exact location of the pin and to keep score. Like the G12, you can use the S12 to see the exact shape of each green you play. Pros:The Garmin Approach G12 is a nice accessory that is affordable and automatically captures your gameplay. It is very light and small so it doesn't get in the way of your game at all, but still provides some key information as you walk the course. You can also have the display flipped upside down so that you can keep the G12 mounted on your belt and view the numbers without removing it. This is a thoughtful small touch that helps you stay focused on the game. The display is crisp and clear, so it’s easy to see everything you need to see when using the device.
