Rated: Garmin GPS watches

How many times have you stood on a tee-box and wondered what yardage it is to a specific point down the fairway, such as a tree or bunker? Likewise, how helpful would it be to know how far you have between the back of the green and the pin? This is where a GPS device comes in, and here are our top three picks in 2019.

Garmin Approach S10

All the key distance information you need without the frills in this simple and easy-to-use watch.

Our verdict – Superb budget option boasting incredible practicality and style

Garmin Approach S40

1.2 inch colour touchscreen that allows you to easily move the pin for more accurate yardages.

Our verdict – Our top pick for a combination of on-course info and smartwatch functionality

Garmin Approach S60

The very best GPS golf watch with a bird's-eye view of the entire hole and a large numbers setting.

Our verdict – A premium option that offers so much tech it is actually something of a bargain

Cut yourself some slack

It makes sense that the closer the ball is to the hole the more chance we have of holing it, but how much easier is a 5-foot putt than a 10-foot putt? Well, here are some stats taken from the PGA Tour's website the week after this year's PGA Championship, which we think makes for interesting reading…

Percentage of putts made from various distances

Bear in mind these stats are from the top 20 putters on the PGA Tour, you can bet your bottom dollar that the percentages would be a little lower for us mere mortals. Either way, they really do highlight the importance of accuracy with our approach shots, not to mention distance control with our lag putts.

Improve on the greens

Hopefully, you're feeling a little better about your putting and beginning to reassess your expectations when on the greens.

Although you have no divine right to hole any putt, improving your stroke and having a putter that is suited to your technique will help to improve your percentages.

PING's range of putters for 2019 is truly stunning and offers something for every type of golfer. The Sigma 2 family comes with an adjustable shaft length so that we can fit you perfectly into the model of your choice, whilst the Vault 2.0 line is 100% milled for incredible touch and feel.

Be sure to utilise our expertise and professional advice if you're in the market for a new putter.

Shane Lowry may have won the Open Championship at Royal Portrush last weekend, but who came out on top in the European Tour's Nearest the Pin Challenge with a twist? Don't try this at home.
