Re: Anybody have any thoughts/opinions on the GPS systems out?

Yes, it will take a minute to catch up to your location, but it will still be quicker than lasering the pin AND that bunker/pond in front of the green. And yes the yardage may vary a bit, like JimSomebody said, but unless you are really good and completely dialed in, 3-5 yards isn't the end of the world. I usually just aim middle/back anyway - most of us underclub and don't reach the green. For a front flag, I just look at the middle of the green yardage.
I clip it on my bag and as soon as I get to the ball, I have a yardage to work with. Quick and easy. Even if you know some of the distances on your course, it's useful for those spots where you are inbetween.

Good for you, TD! Glad you found a unit you like. Hope you get a lot of use out of it and it helps you enjoy the game even more.
