Caddy Confidential: Tee ‘Em High With Approach G5

By Garmin | January 28, 2009

Boxshot_3 Approach0109 025 Down here at Caddy Confidential, we're going nuts. Stir crazy. We're stuck indoors, cold and grumpy, seeing colleagues finish marathons in sunny Florida and cheering on Team Garmin as they pedal back into form Down Under. We're checking the weather religiously waiting for one good day to get out and fire up the latest and greatest from Garmin, the Approach G5. Finally, a few days ago, we got a blast of hot air from somewhere, pulled our clubs out of the closet and sped off to the nearest golf course. ...Or more accurately, we first groveled to get permission to do some, eh-hem, "research."

The conversation with our boss went something like this: "Excuse me, sir, it is imperative that we head out to the golf course today to capture some very important video that will highlight some of the great features of the Approach... Well, yes sir, we will be doing a bit of golfing... No sir, not because we want to. No no. Only because we have to."

New measure shot 1 Amazingly, it worked! The sixty-plus degree day allowed Jake, Dan The Engineer and me to hit Sycamore Ridge Golf Course to hold an impromptu long drive contest. Technically speaking, we were hard at work explaining to all of you one of my favorite Approach tools, the Measure Distance feature - an easy-to-use, intuitive way to measure shot distances.

The weather was so nice, we filmed a bunch of little videos that show off some of the cool things you can do with Approach. So keep checking back in. When we're not watching the weather, we'll be posting more blog entries and videos about Approach G5. Till then, think spring!
