Provides easy access for both riders for yardages and other SkyCaddie information without one person or the other having to ask. Easy to mount on cart. Just have to remember to remove at the end of the round if not attached to your own personal cart....

Easy to use

My wife is my golf partner and we are now able to view the course on our Sky Caddie without having to unclip it from my belt. We love it. We found it at twice as much at another local sporting goods store.
