Tech Talk
The Garmin Approach G80 is more than just a GPS device, it’s also a launch monitor. The G80 delivers standard yardages on over 41,000 pre-loaded courses, and has features such as Garmin’s PlaysLike Distance, giving you distances to the target, adjusted for uphill or downhill shots, which can be easily turned off for tournament play. Green View allows you to zoom in on the green to get precise yardages according to wherever the pin is on the day.
Then, as a launch monitor it’s able to track club head speed, ball speed, smash factor, swing tempo and estimated distance. It also works with the free Garmin Golf app, letting you compete, compare and connect with fellow golfers.
