4. Garmin Approach S6

We found the Garmin Approach S6 had lots of great features, which would be suitable for all golfing levels. The Garmin Approach S6 tells the golfer the exact yardage using GPS from the pin. It also comes with detailed analytics for your swing and layup distances for the more advanced golfers. We found that the watch came with a really long lasting battery, so there’s no need to worry about running out on your golf round. To top it off the screen on the Garmin Approach S6 was really clear to read even while in direct sunlight.

5. iPing for iPhone 6/6s

We thought the iPing should make it into the top 5 golf gadgets for 2017 because if you already own an iPhone 6 or 6s it can be a pretty inexpensive way to improve your putting around the greens. The way the iPing works is simply strapping onto your putter and using the accelerometer and gyroscope to map your putting path. This lets you know the angle you are hitting your putter at to help with consistency and strike, you can even practice with it indoors.
