Here is a truth with which golf has to count on: Nothing shares players just like music on the course. Not a slow game. Not milligans. Nor proper interpretation of the 18-2b rule.
Music
For some players’ players, a Bluetooth speaker has become as essential as Tees and a ball marker. It is the sound of Soundtrack for a random round on Saturday with friends, a way to keep energy during a five-hour slogan or just how they have always enjoyed recreational golf.
For others, it is the audio equivalent of the appearance of a wine taste in Jorts and a monster power hat. Proof is the proof that traditional golf values ​​have been exceeded by the same crowds that turned the Bethpage Ryder cup into what looked like a door party accidentally on a golf course. These players would better play 18 holes in complete silence than to endure a single “hit em up” bar echoed by three good roads.
There is no medium terrain on this subject. You either think that music belongs to the course or you are quite sure that it signals the end of civilization as we know it.
Bushnell Golf is firmly in the first camp. With the new HD wing, the company is doubled in that it has become a surprisingly successful category: GPS activated Bluetooth speakers.
What is Wingman HD?
Wingman HD is Bushnell’s latest GPS GPS GPS speaker and represents a significant update on previous models in the lineup. The stand feature is a 3.5 -inch -colored HD touch screen showing visual distance (front, center, back), plus up to six risks per hole. You also get access to GreenView and HoleView through the Bushnell Golf mobile app.
On the audio side, the Wingman HD packs two 15 watts with passive radiators for those which Bushnell describes as “clear and comprehensive sound” with 360 degree coverage. There is also a dynamic feature of audio adjustment that automatically increases volume as your carriages are speeding – because apparently someone in Bushnell was tired of their music by drowning in wind noise. This will be especially useful when trying to make sure that your whole group can sing properly along with “Cotton Eye Joe”.
Other visible features include:
- Audible GPS distances (if you prefer not to look at the screen)
- Personalized audio characteristics as the first snee an intros and personal sounds (because when you want to feel like a pro the tour)
- “Concert Link” unrepirphing that allows you to connect up to 100 HD Wingman units (because when your regular fourth becomes a full -scale golf festival)
- IPX67 Waterproof and dustproof evaluation
- Mounting the magnetic carriage of bushnell bite
- Internal/external ways of using the range, imitator or backyard
- By scoring on the device when connected to the app
GPS you didn’t know you needed
For players who hug music on the course, Wingman HD does something surprisingly practical: it eliminates the need for a standalone GPS device.
Yes, GPS equipment by hand still exists. I was as shocked as you.
Lately Hand tested GPS units And while they work completely, it is difficult to argue that they are not a little relic. Why keep a special device that does one thing when you can keep a speaker who does the same plus Keep you fun among the shooting?
Wingman HD shows all the essential information of the distance you would get from a GPS-dedicated GPS center, center, back, real risks on that 3.5-inch color touch screen. And unlike those soft Handdheld units that live in your bag until you need them, Wingman HD sits on your cart, always visible, always accessible, always playing any controversial game lists that your game partner insisted on Cueing Up.
Sleep feature: Bushnell’s GPS app
Here’s something that most players don’t know: any Bushnell device, including Wingman HD, gives you the free opportunity on the Bushnell GPS mobile app.
And honestly? LOWSE Lowkey one of the best GPS applications in the market.
For basic GPS and retention of results, it is probably my favorite. The interface is clean, the distances are reliable, and it does not try to reassess you to the premium features that you do not need whenever you open it. The type of app that simply works without making a fuss for it.
With Wingman HD connected to the app, you have access to the Greenview (to visualize the PIN), HoleView, tracking and marking the shot – all without the need for an hour or keeping your phone in his pocket.
Ultimately
Wingman HD is for a specific type of player. You know who you are.
If you are the type who thinks that music enhances golf experience, this is probably the best equipped GPS speaker in the market. The touch screen is a legitimate update on previous models, the quality of the audio seems to be strong and the set of features is comprehensive.
If you are the type who believes that music on the course is a sign of the fall of society, well, the Wingman HD will not change the mind. But at least now you will know exactly what technological monstrosity is responsible for breaking down your Sunday breakfast.
Wingman HD will be available in mid -October in Golf retailers and Bushnellgolf.com for $ 199.99.
