    I jumped in and bought one of these. I've used Foresight in my golf sim for years and they tech is bullet proof. When the GC2 and HMT first came out there were some issues and they fixed it through firmware. Now they are fine.

    Mine came with the new firmware so no idea what the old one did. The big one for me is follow. I've played 3 rounds now and I just use follow except when around a green or tee. When around a green or tee I use the push button and walk. I actually like that feature. I look back sometimes in follow because I don't hear it. It's great. I even use follow going over a bridge. I'd like to see it tighter than 7 feet on either side but if you walk slow it seems to stay tight.

    My only complaint so far is the range of the remote. My old caddy went easily 200 yards before it went out of range. This one goes 20. On the first hole I used it on I tried to drive it over to the next tee and it took off and I had to run. It ended up in a bunker on another hole. Given it was the first hole I had no idea and was pushing every button. I may have caused it. Lesson learned and hasn't happened since. This happened with my first caddy and it ended up in a river while I was texting. With follow I can text away. This is why I bought. Not having to think about the cart is amazing.


    2 things I'd like to see and maybe they exist are:

    1. Cart stopping when out of range of remote
    2. The ability to push a button and have it go say 20 yards and stop (my old one did that)

      It's one of those things you don't want to test (stopping out of range). LOL. When it drove into the bunker I might have been pressing the D button. I had been using it for about 30 seconds ever. If it stops when out of range that's amazing. Thanks.

      Some of the funniest moments around our club is watching guys running after the things! Still happy with your Forecaddie? Agreed - the do make good tech.

      Golf is illegal where I live so I’m not using it. The forecaddy stops if out of range so that won’t happen. I only use it in follow.

    So for those Canadians looking to source this - it looks like it is now carried by Golf Town. CAD$2,999 (or about $2,500 USD) and showing in stock. Certainly less expensive in the US (they are I believe still on stale for $2,249 USD) but interesting that they are being made available outside of Foresight Canada.
