For the last 6 years I’ve owned a Golf Buddy World Platinum Handheld GPS unit. The inherent challenge of handheld GPS units is finding a place to stow the GPS while playing. There really is no ideal spot – I either put the GPS in my pocket, which is very uncomfortable, or leave it inside the golf cart, and risk that it gets tossed around. Also, reaching in and out of the golf cart constantly is a hassle, with the GPS eventually getting scratched or damaged.
Fortunately, I’ve found a better way. The GPS Quick Clip is an extremely strong magnetic case that attaches via a magnet, which is found on the back of the case, and attaches to the side of the golf cart’s windshield support After attaching the case, you must secure an included “clip” to the back of your GPS unit, and then you simply slide the GPS into the case, which is attached to the golf cart (see images below).
I took my GPS Quick Clip down to Florida for a test. I played with the GPS Quick Clip and my golf buddy for 3 rounds. Two rounds were cart-path only so Quick Clip really was aggressively tested on the cart. I also took the GPS on and off the golf cart attachment while walking to the fairways, and then placed it back onto the cart attachment as well.
I was a bit skeptical that the GPS could have become loose and fallen off the golf cart with bumpy cart paths or rough spots in the fairway. After 54 grueling holes in the Florida sun, I can report that the GPS Quick Clip worked liked a true champ! The magnetic case never came off the golf cart and taking it on and off the case to walk to the fairways was simple and easy,
Here’s what the company says about the GPS Quick Clip….
• Can be used with any golf GPS or laser rangefinder unit.
• Much simpler to use and more secure than “clamp” type cart mounts.
• Attaches and detaches from the cart in one second or less.
• Can be used as a permanent or temporary cart mount.
• Virtually indestructible; no moving parts to come loose or wear out with time.
• Lightweight and small enough to stow in your golf bag between games.
• Easily fits in your pocket.
• Keeps your GPS screen right in front of you so that it can be easily seen.
• No fumbling with a belt clip release tab when you want to take your GPS or rangefinder on the
course (great for “cart path only” days) or to the tee on par 3s.
• How does my GPS or laser rangefinder attach to the GPSQuickClip?
• Most (if not all) of the popular GPS models come with a belt clip tab/button attached to the
back of the unit. Simply slide your GPS into the keyhole slot on the GPSQuickClip and it’s
safely in its cradle. Many, but not all, laser rangefinders (Nikon, Bushnell, Callaway by
Nikon, Leica and Leupold) have a standard threaded tripod mount. We include a screw-to-belt-
clip adapter tab that makes it easily compatible with the GPSQuickClip.
• What if my GPS doesn’t have a belt clip tab or button, or my rangefinder doesn’t have a
threaded tripod mount?
• We’ll include a belt clip tab/button along with a 3M VHB removable adhesive disk to attach to
your device. Easy instructions are included. The 3M disk holds like crazy glue, but can be
removed any time… but only when you want to remove it!
• What if I manage to break my GPSQuickClip?
• The GPSQuickClip has been manufactured to high standards for a lifetime of service. But if, for
some reason, it happens to break, we offer a full lifetime warranty. Just ship the magnet (as
proof) back to us and we’ll send a brand new GPSQuickClip to you for just the cost of shipping.
The company website is www.gpsquickclip.com and you can order a GPS Quick Clip for $25.00 – $30.00, based on how strong a magnet you would like and the exact handheld GPS model you have.
If you use a handheld GPS unit, I highly recommend the GPS Quick Clip. It works!
