You will not need to renew your account to continue using these golf courses. Now if you would like to download additional courses after the 1-year is up, you will need to renew your membership.
Q: How do I change holes on the Bushnell Neo?
A:
To change holes while in Play Golf mode, press the up or down arrows (middle two buttons) until the correct hole number is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Q: Is the Bushnell Neo device waterproof?
A:
The Bushnell Neo is weather and water resistant. Light or brief exposure to water will not affect the performance of the device. The Bushnell Neo should not be submerged under water.
Q: Is the Yardage Pro GPS legal during play?
A:
The R&A and the U.S. Golf Association have sanctioned the use of distance measuring devices, including GPS based systems. New decision 14-3/0.5 allows a committee to permit the use of distance measuring devices by Local Rule. This applies to devices that measure distance only, not any other conditions that may affect a player’s game such as wind or gradient. In the absence of such a Local Rule, the use of a distance measuring device remains contrary to the Rules. Unless a local rule is adopted, you should check with your golf professional prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event.
Q: What is the advantage of using the Bushnell Golf GPS over a laser rangefinder?
A:
With the Bushnell Golf GPS, you can determine the distance to objects that are not in your line of sight. The Bushnell can provide you with distances to the green that are difficult to get with lasers. With rangefinders you can over shoot the green, and struggle to hold the rangefinder steady. With the Golf GPS you get immediate feedback; you won’t have to worry about holding up play.
Q: Are the laser rangefinders eye safe?
A:
Absolutely, all Yardage Pro products are well within the eye safety limits established by the FDA for Class 1 laser products.
Q: How accurate is my Bushnell Golf GPS?
A:
The Bushnell GPS are as accurate as any other golf GPS in the market (+/-2 yards.
Q: How accurate are Yardage Pro products?
A:
All of the Bushnell Laser Rangefinders are accurate to +/- 1 yard.
