Since I measure so many courses each year, and the purchase is a deductible expense for the "business", it makes sense to use a Garmin (Oregon 450, in my case). Plus, as I am driving to the course, I can see where I am going to, so I don't over-shoot, or get lost. I'm heading to Colorado Springs Saturday morning, about 4:30, so having the course and splits already on the Garmin will allow me to get there, without trying to see street signs in the dark. Multiple reasons, in my book, for investing in a tool that makes the process more efficient. And people call me a tightwad, Jim!
