HARDWARE
Before I stepped up to the first tee at Poipu Bay Golf Course on Kauai, I got some good advice: Drive the ball up the right side of the fairway. I had consulted the all-digital ProLink GPS navigation system - which knows every bump and turn of the course - built into the forward section of my golf cart's roof.
This satellite system has high-res, antiglare graphics that show you the distance to the flag, along with drawings of the hole and surrounding hazards. Used at 112 courses nationwide, ProLink also gives tips on the contours of the green, the daily pin location, and the best way to play each hole. You can use it to contact the pro shop if you need assistance, and on certain models you can even order lunch from the clubhouse.
Overall, I found ProLink a fast and accurate sidekick. Though it was sometimes hard to relate the soft buttons to their tasks, once I figured out the system, I could make it do almost everything but hit the ball.
