SureShot GPS, a handheld golf course measuring device with enhanced qualities, has added over 5,000 new U.S. golf courses to its database, for a total of over 6,500 courses in North America and more than 9,500 courses worldwide, all of which have been mapped for SureShot GPS users to access. A global company, SureShot GPS continues to add more golf courses to its mapped listings in an ongoing process of providing its users with a wide variety of courses to play.
“We are pleased to announce this significant increase in the number of mapped U.S. golf courses on our database,” said Simon Webb, co-founder of SureShot GPS. “With all the features and capabilities that SureShot GPS offers, we take pride in leading the marketplace in creating exciting game enhancement opportunities for players the world over.”
SureShot GPS recently issued a major software update for all users worldwide. The update, which differentiates SureShot GPS in the field of handheld GPS systems, consists of several new state-of-the-art features, including an editing capability. The new software enables golfers to customise data on any specific golf course to fit their own games. SureShot GPS now automatically calculates the centre of the green when a player self-maps a golf course, and hybrid golf clubs have been added to the list of individual club lengths and recommendations which players can access during a round of golf if they choose. The device now can remain fully charged for thirteen hours.
The ability of SureShot GPS to be used on any golf course in the world, its advanced features and ease of use have increased greatly the demand for this award-winning device on every continent. Whether travelling or playing a local golf course, any golfer can enhance his game with the extra knowledge and confidence that SureShot GPS provides. SureShot GPS won a PC News Weekly “Editor’s Choice Award” last year for performance and value. It earned a full five-star rating and was noted as a “must-have for serious golfers.”
Developed in 2005, SureShot GPS is being praised by golfers for its anti-glare colour screen, simple user interface and multiple options. The device can depict measurements in either yards or meters for use on golf courses anywhere in the world. More and more golfers are adopting SureShot GPS as their product of choice, especially as a 12-month course subscription is included free of charge with purchase.
SureShot GPS was developed for the global golf market to answer the age-old question: “How far is it to the green?” This advanced handheld device features a specially-designed colour, backlit screen with polarised filter that clearly displays distances to hazards and greens. The “Welcome Screen” can be customised for presentation as a corporate or personal gift. Distances can be measured from the tee to the front, centre and back of the green, enabling mapping of the front and carry of up to 15 hazards per hole and up to 33 reference points per hole.
A player has the ability to tailor his own mapping requirements, whether the selected golf course is professionally or personally mapped, with lay-up points, for example. Another option allows a player to record and analyse statistical information for a round of golf, such as fairways hit, greens in regulation, etc.
The device is capable of holding up to ten golf courses on any course worldwide, subject to local rules in accordance with the ruling provided by the USGA and the R&A. Many golfers, both amateur and professional, already have discovered the exceptional qualities and ease of use which SureShot GPS offers.
