Specifications Introduced: January 2009 What's in the Box: Garmin Approach G5 Garmin Golf Owner Reviews Amazon By Mark Dittmer, April 23, 2009 We used one in our golf league group last night and I hit more greens than I normally do and shot four stokes better for nine than the week before. It was very accurate and especially helpful if you weren't in the middle of the fairway and if you had a blind shot to the green where you couldn't point a laser rangefinder. It definitely gives you an advantage. The guy carrying it eagled the last hole. By George Madden, April 20, 2009 My son and I used this on a local course for the first time and it performed great. No more looking for markers or taking the time to walk off an estimate (er, OK - especially when I'm not in the fairway). We have some large greens thankfully and being able to simply move the flag on the device for a much more accurate reading is super. Also, those few great drives I had - the G5 made it simple to get the exact yardage (did not break any records though). Only 1 of my 7 (regular home area) courses is not programmed in yet but I see it's on schedule in the next update. If yours isn't, simply let Garmin know like I did. Great unit, now if only my golf got better :-) Update note: Today (4/26) I downloaded Garmins latest course database to the device and now all my courses are available. TGH Aviation By D. St. Hubbins, March 19, 2009 This thing is incredible. I just received my pre-order Approach yesterday (and of course, I had to get out and play a quick nine today), and all I have to say is WOW! This product is incredibly accurate and versitile. I am amazed at the course layout and presentation, and the ease of use, and the touchscreen, and the COLOR display, and I could go on and on; this is one great unit!
