27 Ways To Play Smarter This Season

Everyone that plays golf is trying to get better - it enhances our enjoyment and keeps us hooked because the process of improvement is an endless one. Perfection can never be attained and so there is always progress to be made. Golf is also a game of fine margins with so many dimensions to it - whether it’s the technique you employ, the equipment you use or the decisions you make - it all has an impact on the outcome. Given these complexities, a smarter more considered approach is often the most effective way to achieve lower scores faster. One brand that understands this more than anyone is Garmin. 

It has an expansive array of products designed to help the golfer get the information they need to make better choices during practice and play, whether it’s understanding how far each club in the bag carries or how far it is to reach the bunker off the tee. Crucially, Garmin’s products do this in an unobtrusive way, complimenting the way a golfer goes about his or her business while always being there at the right time when required. Whether that’s through it’s various GPS watches that include the brand new Approach S70 with its AMOLED touchscreen display and fitness features, its versatile Approach R10 portable launch monitor or cutting-edge Approach Z82 rangefinder, the tools you need to cleverly plot your way around the course are right there in front of you.
