2. Some courses measure the distances by using
laser equipment. If the Green and Tee box are not at
the same horizontal level, the yardage numbers
could be different from those of Sonocaddie. Most
Golf GPS devices measure the distance only in
horizontal level, which is more useful for golfers
than straight-line of laser unit.
3. Some courses measure the distance from tee box
to the green along the middle line of fairway. For
example, the distance on the tee mark or scorecard
shows 410 yards, but Sonocaddie only shows 380
yards. Touch Point technology in the Sonocaddie
V500 can be used to give a better measurement of
the distance along the centerline of the fairway, if
desired.
