SkyCaddie’s SG5 Stands Alone With Highest Rating Among Rangefinders Tested By “Hot List;” Panel Made Up Of Golf Digest Editors, Golf Retailers, Golf Professionals & Consumers

RIDGELAND, Miss., SkyGolf, one of the fastest growing companies in golf and maker of SkyCaddie®, the #1 Rangefinder in Golf, today announced that SkyCaddie received the only Gold rating among six GPS rangefinders tested by Golf Digest Magazine for the 2009 “Hot List.”

In an article that appears in the January 2009 issue of Golf Digest, SkyCaddie was the only golf GPS rangefinder to receive the highest recognition from the “Hot List” testing panel, which included Golf Digest Editors, golf retailers, golf professionals and consumers. In receiving the only Gold rating from the “Hot List,” SkyCaddie was recognized for its breadth of golfer-friendly features, including its large full-color display screen which measures each green from any angle of approach and up to 40 additional targets per hole. Also highlighted was SkyCaddie’s unmatched ground mapping process featuring more than 23,000 golf courses. Only SkyCaddie has adopted the same and only method trusted by TOUR professionals. Moreover, SkyCaddie was cited by Golf Digest for its success at the 2007 LPGA Teaching & Club Professional National Championship, where all three rounds of play were completed in less than five hours for the first time in the event’s 20-year history.

“We are very excited to serve as the Gold standard among golf rangefinders, and to receive such strong recognition in the prestigious Golf Digest ‘Hot List,’” said Richard Edmonson, CEO, SkyGolf. “The testing panel for the ‘Hot List’ is a diverse group of editors, golf pros, retailers and consumers, and to have them collectively award the Gold rating to SkyCaddie is a strong testament to why our product is the #1 Rangefinder in Golf.”

The Golf Digest “Hot List” serves to provide golfers with a guide that they can use as a starting point in searching for new golf equipment. The editors of Golf Digest, along with golf retailers, professionals and consumers spend hours testing all of the newest products each fall. The products that rate the best end up on the “Hot List,” with the very best in each category earning a Gold rating.

Only SkyCaddie, after getting permission, walks the course with skilled golfers – using survey grade equipment – to record high-precise distance information, using the only method trusted by TOUR caddies to get information for their TOUR player. As a result, only SkyCaddie works hand-in-hand with each of its more than 23,000 golf course partners to ensure that golfers have the benefit of the most up-to-date and reliable course maps in the game today. In addition to distances to all bunkers and hazards, SkyGolf’s patented IntelliGreen technology automatically rotates the true shape of the green to match a golfer’s angle of approach. This gives golfers a scoring opportunity on every shot, as it provides not only the front carry and back distances, but the depth of the green from any line of approach, just like a TOUR caddie.
