Gives golfers distances to the target, adjusted for uphill or downhill shots
Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your handheld. G8 receives the wireless signal from your iPhone® 4s or later, let’s you know you have a message, and displays the full text on its own screen whenever you’re ready to read it.
Tells you the direction to the pin, even if you’re so deep in the rough you can’t see the flag.
Large, bright, high-contrast graphics and numbering improve G8’s readability. Layup arcs drawn on the map offer at-a-glance references to 100, 150, 200 and 250 yards for layup decisions.
The enhanced stat tracking feature keeps track of fairways hit, greens in regulation and putts per round. Not only can you check your stats during the round, but you also can download and print them from your computer.
Approach G8 remembers how far you hit each club then gives recommendations on which to use based on distance. Plus, you can customize the names of your clubs, from your “Driveopotamus” driver to your “Billy, Billy, Billy” putter.
Keep track of strokes for up to 4 players. Manage or review totals or an individual’s score throughout the round, or access a printable version on your computer after the match. Scoring options include Stroke Play, Stableford, Skins and Match Play with adjustable handicaps.

Stay Connected Smart Notification lets you receive emails, texts and alerts right on your handheld, even if you’re in the middle of the fairway.

See Targets and Track Stats Colorful layup arcs at 100, 150, 200 and even 250 yards let you know exactly how far you need to hit when laying up. Touch Targeting lets you touch any point on the sunlight-readable display, and it shows the precise distance to that exact spot — fairway, hazard, landing area, or the front, middle and back of the green. Enhanced stats keeps track of fairways hit, greens in regulation and putts per round. Check your stats during the round, or download and print them from your computer afterwards.
