Forum: Other Equipment

Really interested in buying one but I am trying to figure out if the difference in price is worth it. I seem to be able to get the SG4 for about $180 on ebay new and the SG5 is 350ish at Golftown. I realize the SG4 is bulky and the battery may not be as strong but other than that is it really worth...

I am a hack golfer that is trying to break 100 this year. In my game, I lose usually on average 5 or 6 balls, so I prefer to buy reconditioned. What is the general consensus on using reconditioned balls?

I have just found out that I have a narrow heel. Therefore my heel tends to "lift out" of the shoe on each step which of course is causing the blisters on my heels that I've been getting for years. So the question is, is there such a beast as a narrow heeled golf shoe? I know some shoes claim to be...

I'm interesting in buying either one .. does anyone have comments, is it useful, does it work well ? Does it have all of the local Kanata/ Ottawa courses ? CDN, Loch March, Cedarhill, Greensmere... Thanks J

I know this was partially discussed in a previous thread but I have a few specific questions that hopefully can be answered. I currently have a skycaddie SG2 which I have had for tthree seasons now. I have been quite satisfied with it and have pretty much used it for front middle and back on my...

Just wondering if anyone here uses the 'E' series of balls from Bridgestone, they are made to enhance your play based on your particular style or what you are looking to getting out of your golf ball. Even if you don't use them now but have tried them, your input is welcome! They fall into the...

Just bought a pair of Ecco Classic GTX from golfshaftdepot.com They are having a really good sale. I actually went to their ebay store and made an offer. Got them for $115 shipped, tax incl and dollar conversion. Pretty sweet deal on a $300 shoe. Check them out if you're looking for a new pair...

I'm leaning towards a Bushnell laser range finder and I'm wondering if anyone has used and could give a review? Thanks

Hi folks, Has anyone tried that new uPro GPS device yet? It looks like a great little device, and with their 4-day mapping turnaround for your home course, if we get enough of them in the Ottawa area, we should have most of the courses mapped pretty quickly. The only thing I'm worried...

Hi: I know some folks out there have experience with the skycaddie and I might be looking to get one, although my budget is very limited. 1) I might just want to try an older SG2? Anyone here ever used it? Would it be just as accurate for Front/Center/Back of Green as an SG5? 2) I see...

Well for the last couple of years I've ordered a few dozen Pinnacle Exceptions (more like 10) from Knetgolf. However this year I see they are back ordered. Anyone have a good alternative that are in the same price range ($6.99/doz) and have the same kind of feel. Any suggestion would be greatly...

Did anyone go to the golf sale on colonade rd? Was it worth the trip? Did you see any deals on iron sets? Was there much adams equipment? Thinking of going tomorrow. Thanks

I can't seem to find any golf shoes that will fit me that are affordable and large. I wear size 13 and 4 E in width. I am looking for more of a sneaker looking shoe but I can't find anything worth buying. I don't wanna spend that much money pref around 100. But more affordable the better. ...

Anyone have any experience using FreeCaddie for smart phones? I just downloaded it for my HTC Hero - seems to have a pretty decent list of courses, just not 100% sure how accurate the gps is going to be? I also assume this thing will drain my battery like nobodies business. If anyone has...

Best product ever!!!!! That's all I have to say. :D

I'm looking for the stickiest grips out there...at golf town as the 50% rebate is on. What model do you recommand?

I would like to move the following equipment and get my garage back. The following is a list of bags and clubs, all about 20 yrs old but all very usable. Ben Hogan Tour bag, red white, blue. Callaway S2H2 Black leather tour bag,(white and red lettering). 2 small carry bags, (1 Mizuno,...

Has anyone used this software on an iPhone, and if so do you recommend this software or something else? I am looking for something to load onto my iPhone and don't want to buy another device such as SkyCaddie. Thanks. Rob

Are there any manufacturers that make stand bags with a similar bottom to the Callaway bags? I'm looking for a stand bag that is light weight, and can easily be used on a cart. The Callaway bags, and their round bottoms are probably the best fit I've see. Only flaw with them unfortunately is the...

Where can someone purchase a golf mat in Ottawa or at least Canada? New mat only. Thanks

I do not want to take my reading glasses out on to the course. The Sonocaddie looks like it has large Fonts for distances to Front, Back, and Center of the green. Has anyone tried the unit? Andy

Any recommendation for a golf GPS App for a BB Storm 2? Golf Logix seems to be the preferred, but before I purchase and download, I want to know what others use.

I was at Golf Town tonight, and I asked about the new Sky Caddie SGX that is coming out, and the salesperson said ONPAR is out selling Sky Caddie 5 to 1. I just went to the website, and while the unit looks impressive, there are almost no courses in Ottawa listed. Anyone have more...

Anyone using a subscription website to manage their golf leagues played at multiple courses? I am currently evaluating NetGolfLeague.com. Seems pretty good and cheap - U$150/year regardless of size of league. Would like to know what others are using. Thanks.

I went to G.T. today to buy a push cart, and apparently the new Clicgear 3.0 model will be arriving at stores in the next couple of weeks, however, I can't seem to find any info on it. For example, what changes have been made, etc... I was at Golftown today and they have them ordered and could tell...

Which iPhone apps should I be getting to make my time on the course more enjoyable this season?

Bushnell 500 Laser Rangefinder ..Yardage Pro 500...anyone familiar with this product ..ever used it?..opinions??.......thx

It's getting closer to the new season and as usual, my anticpation of playing is manifesting itself in spending money at various golf stores (it's a disease, I know). I'm just wondering what people like to spend their extra golf budget on? I'm personally pretty happy with my clubs right now...

Hi All, Just wanted to drop a note about my golf apparel blog, www.chapeaunoirgolf.com. Dan has graciously added me to his links page, and this past week has been great - I have had a nearly two thousand page views in the last couple of days. If you haven't already, you're invited to come check...

Anyone else stumble accross this beauty while scanning on golf town's website?

golf clubs shafts always stuck inside of the stand bag, sometimes, it's problem to put the clubs into bag. My guess is just bottom is narrower than top, do you guys have same problem? how do you fix it?

Does anyone know of any place that rents hard shell travel cases per week, I am leaving for Florida in a couple of weeks and want to bring my clubs but I don't really want to buy a travel case for a one week trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know the release date for Canada for the new Ping bags, particular the 4-under? I think the white with the red or blue look awesome, however I would like to see them in person before I order one.

So I'm sitting here playing NHL 10 and for some reason I decided to go grab my sky caddie and charge it in anticipation for the Myrtle Beach trip at the end of the month. Not really to my surprise there was a new software update, which got me looking to see what else has changed since I've last...

I have had a Bushnell 1500 tournament edition, which I have been very satisfied with till midway through the last season. Sometime last year, it started getting more difficult to acquire the pin from more than 130 yards out. It tended to pick up other things around the same area. I read up on...

I am torn between getting a golf specific GPS (Calleyway, Garmin, etc) or a smart-phone GPS app. I am at the end of a Bell contract and will be negotiating with Rogers/Bell/Telus/etc for a new phone/service contract. Any suggestions or recommendations?

http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/showthread.php?t=27291 It appears that the Bushnell Tour V2 is the same thing as the Bushnell Scout 1000. We golfers are just paying more because it's assumed we have more money than hunters. If the two products are the same, I'm thinking of buying a Camo...

Guys, I agree the psace's comments on the DD thread being hijacked so I have started this one where you can discuss all the pros, cons and ins-and-outs of all the differing systems out there!

I had been looking for a rangefinder for a few months. I thought I would wait after christmas to see if there were any deals. I saw one ad on ebay which was selling a brand new Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament edition for $299 US + 29.99 shipping USPS to Canada. That was the best deal on ebay I found...

Just reading about these, won best new product of 2009. Anyone have one? Anyone planning on getting one?

Looking for some recommendations for lower priced sunglasses that are suitable for golf. I'm one of those guys who loses sunglasses or boots them down the driveway (buggering up the lenses) a few times a year so I can't spend a lot of cash. I find the usual cheapo drug store sunglasses fine...

... and makes me think that I'm looking at a golf game for the original Nintendo. http://garmin.blogs.com/pr/2009/01/garmin-goes-gol.html?activeBranchId=newsroom Looks a little lame, but there's only one picture. Garmin usually has pretty solid GPS products, so hopefully there's more than...
