Membership Benefits
You should expect the best in a rangefinder, and SkyCaddie
®
believes your game is worth it. That’s why we
invest thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars every year to train, equip, send out and support our
worldwide network of experienced SkyCaddie
®
Mappers. We’re moving beyond rangefinders to become the
ultimate destination for golf knowledge, connecting you to
your game, your equipment, your course, your
PGA Teaching Professional,
and
other golfers.
During registration, you’ll be given the option to select an annual Membership plan, providing you with a host
of benefits and value. You can significantly increase the value of your SkyCaddie with these member benefits:
• You’ll enjoy unlimited access to the most reliable course information in golf.
SkyCaddie maintains
the largest ground-verified course map library in the world, now approaching 40,000 courses. ONLY
SkyCaddie walks the ground of EVERY course you play, using survey-grade GPS equipment for precision
mapping.
Nothing else comes close.™
• You can trust that the information on your SkyCaddie
®
is always up-to-date.
By working with — and
not circumventing — local golf course professionals, SkyCaddie
®
is notified when a course’s layout has
changed so that we can update our map for that course. It doesn’t matter if it’s a major renovation or just
the removal of a critical tee target. We will send out a SkyCaddie
®
Mapper to re-map the course in a timely
manner, and notify you if a course map you’ve downloaded has changed. In 2010 alone, we re-mapped
over 1,000 courses a month!
• Powerful distance information is presented in an understandable way, so you only need to focus on
your swing.
Our proprietary features such as IntelliGreen
®
, IntelliGreen
®
Pro, and HoleVue™ (where
available) show you real-time distances to key areas on the hole from your angle of approach, so you
can make better club selections and make better shots.
• Improve your game off the course and share your experiences with others on ClubSG™:
Sync your
SkyCaddie
®
to our new exclusive online community to upload scores and track key stats with charts and
graphs to help visualize your game and connect with other golfers.
• Get exclusive, member-only offers to popular goods, services and destinations through Member B.
Through our relationship to some of the world’s biggest brands, our members can receive discounts, packages,
and other offers not available anywhere else!
• You’ll receive the latest software updates for your SkyCaddie
®
to keep it running at peak performance.
Whether
you are a PC user or a Mac user, software updates are common. The software that runs on your SkyCaddie
®
needs to be updated too. By regularly syncing wirelessly or by using the cable and our CaddieSync
®
Express
