Why printed Course Guides are still relevant today.

In a world dominated by smartphones and apps, printed course guides may seem like relics of the past. However, these tangible companions continue to prove their worth for golfers of all levels. Here’s why:

  1. Reliability
    Printed guides never run out of battery or suffer from GPS glitches. On remote courses or during poor signal conditions, they ensure uninterrupted play by offering a dependable reference.
  2. Tactile experience
    Flipping through a guide offers a hands-on feel that apps simply can’t replicate. Visual layouts, detailed yardage maps, and annotations give players an intuitive understanding of the course.
  3. Personalisation
    Golfers can mark notes, strategies, or memorable shots in their guide, creating a personalised keepsake over time. It turns into more than a tool—it becomes part of their journey on the course.
  4. Focus and immersion
    Relying on a printed guide means less screen time, allowing players to stay immersed in their game without digital distractions.
  5. A collector’s charm
    For enthusiasts, course guides are beautiful collectibles, reflecting the uniqueness of each course, often enriched with stunning illustrations and design.

While digital tools bring convenience, the timeless charm and practical reliability of printed golf guides ensure they remain relevant. For those who love the game, there’s nothing quite like holding a beautifully crafted course guide in hand as they step onto the Tee.
