SkyCaddie SG-5
Pro:
If price is NOT a factor in your decision, then the SkyCaddie SG-5 with all of its advanced features is the best choice. I personally like the color screen, with automatic backlighting to make it easy to use in both dark and bright light. The IntelliGreen technology give you a measurement that allows you to make a more educated club selection decision. The use of rechargeable lithium batteries is another advantage.

The Eagle and Double Eagle Membership Plans can be expensive for some golfers.
