  1. I think you’re going to miss all the Techno-Magic you figured out to make the Rapsodo work as well as a did, and yet I have a feeling that once a PC is involved for GSPro half of it will make its way back in and onto the floor. Please don’t gloss over the pain points even though so much is baked into the R50. Give us all the details good, bad, & indifferent like JLag Golf would do, things like having to go to the Garmin mobile app to get data out to share, availability of practice modes, chipping and putting .
    If you can, take it to a range and tell us how well the screen and cameras work in the sun, etc. Really looking forward to everything you have to share about the R50

  2. Did you connect the R50 via HDMI to your projector or your TV? The quality on the screen seems really good like brightness and sharpness and all that and it seems to be almost like a screen recording! Haha
    I ask because I’m trying to figure out how cleanly connect this R50 to a projector without having the HDMI all in the way. Thank you great video!
