What's in the Box? SkyCaddie SG2.5, AC charger, USB cable, belt clip, user guide, installation CD Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Can the SG2.5 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.

A must have January 8, 2009 L. Prunes (Houston, TX. USA) The skycaddie 2.5 is a must have for the avid golfer. As a 14 hadicapper I have only used it twice on my home course and have improved on actual distance to the pin. I have allways relied on fairway markers for yardage guess and club selection, and now I see a different choice of club with improved results. The battery has stayed fully charged on both rounds with out any unit ploblems. Very simple to use software and the unit itself is very user friendly.
SkyCaddie SG2.5 is great! December 16, 2008 J. MCARTHUR (Columbus, OH USA) This product is very handy for any golfer. It was very simple to set up and is very easy to use. The SkyCaddie has taken 3-4 strokes off of the average score for both my husband and I.
SkyCaddie SG2.5 product review December 2, 2008 Robert J. Dellorfano It does what is advertised. The most confusing part of using the product is finding the distance of your last shot. Battery power is limited to about 2 rounds without a charge. Bob Dell
I love this product October 5, 2008 Gregory J. Bachman (Everett, WA United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought the SkyCaddie 2.5 after a lot of research and reviews. Spoke with SkyGolf sales and was told the SG3 and SG4 were being discontinued. The 2.5 and SG5 were the replacements because of software problems in the past. I purchased locally and went online and subscribed to the nationwide option because I live in Washington state and travel frequently. I use Vista and had no problems at all getting started. I change my downloaded courses often and have had no issues. Playing with the 2.5 has been great. I am dialing in the yardage with each club very accurately using the mark function. On the occasional wrong fairway drive, :) I used the 2.5 to not only get me the yardage, but I quickly got out of the way of the golfers playing the correct fairway. One hole in particular, I was 1 1/2 fairways to the right (it was really windy...LOL) skycaddie said I was 159 to the front(from where I was) 169 to the center, pulled my 7 iron and put it within 3 ft. Definitely has reduced my score, am getting more one-putts for birdies, and is a big hit with anyone I play with. I turn it on at the golf course while unloading my clubs and it has locked on to sattelites everytime before I finish putting on my golf shoes. I have had no problems that others have had and I love this caddie on my bag.SKYCADDIE / SKY CADDIE SG2.5 GPS RANGEFINDER- FREE SHIP
Bill's Review July 2, 2008 That SOB (Smilin' Ol' Bill) (Minneapolis) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Have used the Sky Caddie for several weeks and find it really a helpful gadget. If you stay in the fairway, and distace markers are visble, it still helps by avoiding the pacing and estimating normally done. And if you're off the fairway, as we often are, it's invaluable. A great item!
