A SkyCaddie is the #1 range finder in golf. Only SkyCaddie mappers walk every course using sub-meter, survey grade equipment to record critical distances to hazards, layups and green targets for the most complete and reliable distance information available to amateurs. A Tour Caddie would never trust distances derived from aerial images or flyover and neither should you.
