It is available in both polymer and ceramic and has 40,000 pre-installed courses. The Garmin Approach S60 even connects to Garmin’s club tracking system, the Garmin Approach CT10 (more on this below), so you can get a clear sense of how your clubs are hitting.
An interactive – and completely legal – putter

The TaylorMade Spider Interactive Putter is one of the best ways to improve your putting game without the need for additional help. In fact, the putter is a real, legal putter that you can use on the court. It comes with a sensor in the handle that analyzes your pace and movement while putting and then interacts with a mobile app so you can see how well you’re hitting the ball. The app offers 11 metrics so you can gather vital information about why you are cleaning well – or not. If you’re looking for a better putting game, the TaylorMade Spider Interactive Putter is the place to go.
The best golf gadget to find your distance
Callaway Tour S Golf laser range finder
The Callaway Tour S Golf laser rangefinder is ideal for finding distances on the course. You simply point the rangefinder at your target and it will automatically detect the pin with its pin detection technology. Callaway says the rangefinder can also lock at different distances so you can see the distance to the edge of the green and the pin at the same time. The rangefinder has a 7x magnification and you can zoom in on a target up to a distance of 400 meters. The device is a little more expensive than the average rangefinder on the market, but with its multitude of features it more than justifies its price.
A gadget to better understand your clubs
Garmin Approach CT10
The Garmin Approach CT10 is one of the best tools out there for finding out how to hit clubs more effectively and to know more about the clubs you are hitting. The Garmin Approach CT10 is a sensor that attaches to each club and tracks your swings. You can then keep a log of how far you hit the ball and enter whether you hit a fairway or a green. You can then analyze your data after your round to get a feel for how well you are hitting certain clubs and which clubs are best for certain shots. Think of it as an easy way to get real clarity on how to hit your clubs.

A voice caddy for understanding the course
Voice caddy VC300SE
The Voice Caddy VC300SE is another handy tool to have in your pocket if you want to quickly find out how far you are from the green. But instead of looking through a range finder or at your watch, the Voice Caddy VC300SE tells you your distance through vocal cues. So if you ask how far you are from the green, the voice caddy will tell you how far you are. The idea is that it’s easier to use than a wearable that forces you to be mindful of distances and other information. The voice caddy just says the information. It’s a lot more convenient.
