“With the Approach G30, we were able to pack a ton of features into a streamlined device,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “The colour touchscreen combined with Touch Targeting, Green View and stat tracking, will give users a competitive advantage no matter what course they play.”

Like all Garmin devices the Approach G30 comes preloaded with over 40,000 courses world wide. The G30 also displays yardages in a large font for at-a-glance viewing, so even with a smaller device, users can easily see all the important information they need for each round.

Built-in high-sensitivity GPS, so users will get accurate distances to greens, hazards and doglegs, even if they’re under heavy tree cover. The Approach G30 also has a dedicated Green View, which shows the shape of the green, and allows users to manually position the pin to get the most accurate distance information.

*Compatible with the TruSwing™ analyzer, so when paired together it allows golfers to have greater in depth readings to improve swing consistency!

The Approach G30 boasts a variety of other connected features. Users can get smart notifications for incoming calls, texts and more plus automatic uploads to the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app to save all of the users’ golf data like scorecards in one place.

Great to use with friends, as the G30 can keep track of scores for up to four players, and can track more in-depth stats like fairways hit, greens in regulation and putts per round. Plus, with the Garmin Connect Mobile app, users can track their overall scores, and see how they play on each course and even each hole.

Overall the Garmin Approach G30 is a fantastic addition to Garmin range and Golf, designed to withstand the elements ‘has a water rating of IPX7’ and a long 15 hour battery life. Making this device an ideal buy for all golfers.
