RIDGELAND, MS – August 12, 2025 – In celebration of its 25th anniversary, SkyGolf, maker of SkyCaddie®, the most-trusted rangefinders in golf, is announcing a special Labor Day promotion on all of its popular, award-winning rangefinders.

From August 15 through September 5, 2025, golfers can save $50 on the following rangefinders:

PRO 5X and PRO 4X handheld models (compatible with SkyGolf’s revolutionary SuperTags™)
LX5, LX5C (with ceramic bezel), and LX2 smartwatches

For a quarter-century, SkyGolf has pioneered GPS rangefinders to help golfers improve their game. Unlike other devices that rely on satellite imagery, SkyCaddie’s dedicated team walks every course to create and update each map with sub-meter precision, ensuring the most accurate and reliable distances on the market.

“Since our inception, professional, avid, and recreational golfers alike have trusted our rangefinders to provide the most accurate distance information,” said Jacqui Surman, SkyGolf Senior VP and COO. “A SkyCaddie reveals many aspects of a golf hole which are invisible to laser users. This accuracy makes it an invaluable tool to help golfers play better, play faster, and have more fun. Isn’t that what it’s all about?”

The promotion includes all SkyCaddie models including the new PRO 4X—a compact, yet powerful version of the popular PRO 5X. Both models feature a full-color, high-definition display, fast processing speed, and exclusive SkyCaddie technologies like IntelliPath and IntelliGreen®. The PRO 5X and PRO 4X are also fully compatible with SkyGolf’s revolutionary SuperTags™, which power the next-generation GameTraX™ 360 game and performance tracking.

For those who prefer a wearable device, the LX5 and LX5C smartwatches are bestsellers and offer great value. The LX2 smartwatch is the most straightforward design and, at just $49.95 with the discount, it’s an incredible bargain.

Every SkyCaddie device comes preloaded with over 35,000 best-in-class courses and features Wi-Fi connectivity to easily get the latest updates.

The Labor Day promotion is valid from August 15 through September 5, 2025, and is subject to availability. This offer applies only to new SkyCaddie products and is open to U.S. residents with a U.S. shipping address.

The SkyGolf GameTraX 360 System, powered by SkyGolf’s revolutionary SuperTags

Ted Odorico May 28, 2025

Technology

SkyGolf recently launched their GameTraX 360^TM system, Golf’s most-advanced system for tracking and improving performance. GameTraX 360 is powered by SkyGolf’s revolutionary SuperTags^TM which automatically captures both shot and swing data for every shot both on and off the course. SuperTags add less than a single swing weight and are less than half the price of competitive alternatives with unmatched accuracy of measurements.

SuperTags, with its multiple-sensor and Bluetooth technology, leapfrog all other products in the game-tracking category by combining SkyCaddie’s exclusive, industry-leading, ground-mapped GPS golf course maps with a suite of automated game-tracking features and much improved reliability. Compared to other tracking products currently available, golfers will find a huge reduction in missed shots, greater accuracy and much simpler post-round editing tools. GameTraX 360 is designed to “JUST GO PLAY” to overcome the resistance to broader adoption as cited by golfers who have tried but became dissatisfied with current offerings in the market.

The addition of capturing your swing and club performance data, both visualized in 3D and data form, makes SuperTags the next BIG THING in golf – and they are affordable enough to add to all the clubs in your bag. Golfers will find SuperTags are the best way yet to take a deep dive into their in-play performance, including calculating Strokes Gained with no intrusion needed during play.

Combined with SkyCaddie’s precise GPS, GameTraX 360 brings professional-level insights to golfers at all levels, making it easy to understand and improve every aspect of your game. GameTraX 360 is packed with features like SwingTraX™ 360, which helps you identify and address swing flaws that cause lost strokes. Now you can review your swings without needing a camera, whether you`re on the course or practicing indoors with your favorite club.

SwingTraX 360 is more than just an add-on; it’s a game-changer for golfers who already own a launch monitor and enjoy simulation. Powered by SkyGolf’s revolutionary SuperTags™, SwingTraX 360 delivers advanced swing analysis and club performance data that goes beyond what most launch monitors can provide. It seamlessly integrates with your existing setup to enhance the data you receive and uncover deeper insights into your game.

By combining ball data from your launch monitor with swing and club data from SwingTraX 360, you get a complete picture of every shot. This combination helps you understand not just what your ball is doing, but why — empowering you to fine-tune your swing and make smarter adjustments.

“SkyGolf continues to pioneer the use of innovative, technology-based products to help golfers to improve their game and have more fun,” said Jacqui Surman, SkyGolf Senior VP and COO. “We’re thrilled to partner with Zen Golf and use their innovative adjustable putting and hitting stages to showcase how our SwingTraX 360, powered by the revolutionary SuperTags, works to identify flaws to your putting stroke and groove a fix and add depth to practice sessions. As we know, it’s hard to fix a problem, if you can’t see it! SwingTrax is an extra set of eyes tracking every movement of your putter and metrics unavailable before SuperTags.”

Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your swing, capture club performance metrics or understand the nuances of your putting stroke, SwingTraX 360 tracks your performance automatically, without needing extensive setup, using a camera or manual input. This is more than just a training aid – it’s your personal guide to playing better golf through better information. SwingTraX 360 functionality is included in GameTraX 360 for complete on course tracking as well as swing data during practice.

The initial release of GameTraX 360 and SwingTraX 360 will be for SkyCaddie PRO 5X, SkyCaddie SX550, iOS 13 and greater (app with SkyCaddie mobile) and Android – other select models of SkyCaddie coming soon.
