Shot Scope Pro LX+ £329.99

GM verdict

To get fully set up with the Pro LX+, you need to screw the tags into the tops of all your clubs. They're labelled, so there's no pairing required, but it does take time. The GPS and shot-tracking functionality goes through the H4, which is a very compact device (also sold separately as a standalone GPS) that can attach magnetically to the front of the Pro LX laser rangefinder. For us, it charged quickly and located our course in seconds.

It provides a wealth of information, including yardages to reach and carry bunkers and hazards as well as lay-up distances. From a full charge in GPS + Track mode, it ran out of juice on the 18th fairway of our second round, so you'll need to charge it before each game.

To implement the shot tracking, you have to manually tag every shot by tapping the end of the club on the screen. The unit vibrates to let you know this has been successful, and the name of the last club tagged is also displayed on the screen to confirm. We preferred having the H4 in our pocket - it makes the process of tagging clubs much easier (you can even do it through your pocket if the screen is facing forwards) although we sometimes forgot to do it. That said, you can do it before or after hitting the shot so there are multiple opportunities to remember and you can easily add shots in the app afterwards.
