GolfBuddy VTX GPS Launched
GolfBuddy has introduced the new VTX model, its most advanced ever Handheld GPS device.
GolfBuddy say the VTX will provide the most accurate, advanced and convenient handheld distances for UK golfers this season thanks to its compact, feature-packed new unit.
The VTX incorporates a full colour touch screen and ultra slim, lightweight design, making it simple to use. It’s compact size of just 9.5cm x 5.6 cm and less than 1.5 cm deep means it slips easily into a pocket while being large enough to convey all the necessary information for the hole you're on.

With access to GolfBuddy’s database of over 38,000 pre-loaded courses, the VTX will even auto update courses via Bluetooth to your phone if the venue isn’t instantly available.
