Ideal for traveling golfers, the full-featured SkyCaddie SG3 Golf GPS has a durable, water-resistant shell for playing in all conditions and is powered by 2 AA batteries--which eliminates the need for carrying chargers and cables while traveling. It's also equipped with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling golfers to measure the full depth and shape of the green from any angle of approach, both on or off the fairway. Part of SkyCaddie's exclusive, professional 4-Star SkyCourses, IntelliGreen graphics provide an eagle's eye view of the green with an indicator representing a direct line-of-play from wherever you are on the course.
The SkyCaddie SG3 offers a high-performance GPS receiver with a satellite-based augmentation system for accuracy. Other features include a programmable memory module to store thousands of targets, auto-hole advance, large grayscale LCD display, built-in atomic time, and up to 12 hours of continuous use from two AA batteries.
With an annual SkyPlayer Club Membership Plan (not included with purchase of device), you can easily download thousands of our professionally enabled SkyCourses.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG3 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more information than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, it provides the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of the approximate flag location. All three distances are provided simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You can then frame your shot in a much larger target area and select the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can provide.
