Review on 🏌️ Golf Buddy Voice 2: Long Lasting Battery Golf Distance Range Finder with Talking GPS and Easy-to-use Navigation for Hat by Justin Zilinskas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

My instrument was just inaccurate.

I don't want to write this because I know it could damage the product but I have to be honest. Or maybe I'm just unlucky. At first I thought this device was a good buy. but I started noticing that the distances to known targets were off by 15% or more. Such a mistake can seriously ruin your scorecard and confuse your head. At first I was willing to concede that this could be due to course anomalies and/or satellite errors which could make the instrument inaccurate. But the distances were mostly shorter than they should be, and switching courses showed that this could not be explained by a simple geopositioning problem. You would expect the device to measure at least some of the holes longer depending on which direction you are from a given target. My friends used Neo Ghosts etc and their machines would match within a yard or with each other, my GolfBuddy would usually show 10 or 15 yards shorter distances on the most important shots. Apparently the error was less dramatic closer to the hole, but it didn't matter then. I thought I would save money by buying this. but I ended up having to buy the Neo for an extra $50 - I only spent $100 to buy it. I can't even give it to a friend because that would ruin their game too.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to say
