OnPar golf GPS resembles iPhone
If you like golfing a lot, you might want to consider checking out this slick looking golf GPS, aptly named OnPar. Basically, it calculates the distance you are from the hole and figures out the distance you need to reach to get the golf ball into the hole.
In addition to distances, it gives detailed information on your personal club averages, keeps score and shots. It can store up to 300 different courses, and it doesn’t come with any membership fees. It comes with a nice sized screen, measuring in at 3.5-inches, and is only 0.63 inches in thickness, meaning it should fit nicely inside your pocket. From the picture above, you can tell that it looks pretty similar to the iPhone. Maybe you’ll even be able to trick your friends into thinking you own an iPhone.
