Golf Electronics

Measure to Play Better

In golf, knowing the exact distance to the flag, to an obstacle, or to the beginning of the green helps you choose the right club and save strokes. Electronic devices have replaced the old distance markers and scorecards. Golf rules allow most distance measuring devices in casual play and many competitions, as long as certain functions, such as slope measurement, are not used.

By Type of Device

Golf electronics come in different types:

• GPS.
• Rangefinders.

Accessories also include training equipment, balls, gloves, practice mats, on the accessories page.

GPS or Rangefinder

The golf GPS, whether a watch or handheld, like the Garmin Approach range, contains mapping for thousands of courses: it automatically displays distances to the front, centre, and back of the green, and to obstacles. The Garmin mounting support allows you to attach a phone or device to the trolley. The laser rangefinder, which you aim at the flag, measures the exact distance to the metre, regardless of the hole's position.

Trolley Batteries

Golfers using an electric trolley need to maintain its battery. Flat Cat lithium batteries from the German trolley brand ensure enough power for a course of up to eighteen holes, or even more; dedicated chargers recharge them in a few hours. You should recharge the battery after every outing, store it dry at room temperature in winter, and check compatibility with your trolley model.

Good Deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, discounts, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The year's key events follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back to school.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a GPS and a golf laser rangefinder?

The GPS shows distances to the front, centre, and back of the green using course mapping. The laser rangefinder precisely targets the flag or an obstacle, without relying on a map.

Are distance measuring devices allowed in competitions?

Since the revision of the golf rules in 2019, they are allowed by default, unless a local rule states otherwise. Functions that measure slope or recommend a club must, however, be turned off.

How do you maintain your electric trolley battery?

Recharge it after each round, even a short one, and do not leave it depleted over winter. Store it dry, at a moderate temperature, and use the appropriate charger, like those from Flat Cat.

Lithium or lead battery for a golf trolley?

The lithium battery is much lighter, charges faster, and lasts longer. The lead battery, being heavier, remains a robust option for older trolleys.

What is a mounting support for a golf GPS used for?

It keeps the GPS on the trolley or cart, easily visible throughout the game. The Garmin Approach support allows you to check distances without having to take the device out of your pocket for every shot.
