Last year for my birthday I received a Callaway uPro.  I don't believe I ever blogged about the device last year because I wasn't playing much golf.  This year I'm playing much more golf and I've used my uPro on several rounds.  I was not sure how much it would affect my game but it is an interesting device.  The Golf GPS market has blown up over the past couple years with several different dedicated models and now with software for your mobile phone.

The uPro is a dedicated golf GPS device used to find your distance from certain points of the golf course.  The uPro does not come with any courses preloaded so you need to download courses from the Callaway site.  You have two options for courses: a free version with no satellite images or a paid version with satellite images.  The paid version also features a fly over video of each course.

I tend to buy the courses I play because I want the features it includes.  The paid version shows distances to specific points and you can move the target around to see exact distances.  I really like this feature and think it makes the uPro extremely useful on the course.  If you have a device like this it makes no sense to download the free courses unless it's a par three course.

I do think the uPro has saved me several strokes on the rounds I've played.  I have no need to count off yardages and have an accurate gage on distance from any spot on the course.  I highly recommend buying a dedicated GPS device because it will save you stokes and help you pull the right club.
