In this episode, we meet with CEO Pete Charleston to hear the complete history, features and reasons why GolfLogix offers far more than any handheld device on the market.

They’ve just released a new book called “The Lost Art of Playing Golf” in which we discuss the various elements of game improvement that have been lost with today’s technology that has made the focus of hitting the ball, not making ‘golf shots’. The Forward of this book is excellent as it’s provided by Rudy Durant, Tiger Woods’ childhood coach.
