How is the battery usage? Does it last along time?
It will last you two rounds easily. Up to 10 hrs battery life total.
@@GarageGolf Niiiiice. I’m sold. Great review. Thanks!
I'd plug it in the night before you use it to be safe.
Fantastic product. 2 Rounds
other sites have said about 10 hrs of music play
Nice review of this product. I just bought one. Looking forward to using it this week. Cheers
Love this I told my son I wanted one got one we play the music when we are by ourselves but the GPS is spot on music sounds great well built an easy set up
So glad you enjoy it. It is one of my favorite items as well. So much so that I bought it out of my own pocket because I wanted one so bad!
I got one today on Father’s Day! Enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to use mine.
Awesome James! I think you will be a big fan of it! Hope you enjoy.
New subscriber man! Awesome video!
Great Video. I plan on buying one soon. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Wow awsome device ty
Nice review!
Great video, you guys rock !!!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice job on showing everyone
Thanks for watching Ray!
Thanks for vid.
I'll be playing Alsatian ln April of this year with a group of guys from Corpus......looks like a fun course
It is an awesome course that I know you will enjoy. Greens are always in pretty good shape and it is fun to play.
Outstanding video and review.
Thanks so much Noel! Thanks again for watching.
I’ve obviously done something wrong bc mine will not say anything without me hitting the button and looking at my phone. No automatic speaking pulling up to the hole
I’ve had this a couple months and still have this same issue. Never worked for me yet and it still says they are both connected
damn you have so many courses within 7 miles of you - jealous. very good review, thanks
That's one good thing about living in a large city for sure!
Appreciate your review. Purchase one soon.
Nice video I bought one for myself it’s a fun gadget. Also your a local I also live right by the golf club of Texas and I play Alsatian often
Definitely in front of the tee on 16 (20:18) looks like Danny took that hole lol. Thanks for the review
Actually tied that one even with both of our horrible shots! Thanks for watching!
Got this for a Christmas gift. I tried to use it on my own for my first round and had a few glitches, so I watched this video. Very helpful to unlock all of the features and use it correctly. Awesome product. I wish it kept a scorecard history though. I’m nervous about getting a call or text on my phone while using it and listening to the music and being disruptive on the course. Does this happen? My second round will be today so we will see how it goes!
So glad the video helped out! I have gotten a few calls when on the course but no more disruptive than playing music and on your phone you can switch the bluetooth off after taking the call and just handle a call in a regular way. No biggies there! I also agree if they give you the option to take a score it should keep a history. The only thing keeping a really good product from being a must have product hands down!
Excellent video.....dancing, ummmm, not so much....LOL
Do you know how hard I had to work to make my dance moves look naturally bad...well not very hard. Lol. Thanks for watching!!
@@GarageGolf Good stuff...lol
Thanks for doing the video!!! Him straight my friend!!!
What is the sound quality of the speaker? Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the review Roland. Looks like a very useful golf product. What is the cost?
Cost is $149.00. Link for product is listed in video description under title. Thanks for watching!
Just bought one, thanks for the review, my question for those of you out there that have this… when charging its blinking red and green what does that mean?
It means that its in the pairing mode.
Mine is doing the same think blinking red and green but won’t power on please help Thanks
Did you ever get that blinking red and green solved because mine is doing that and won’t power on?
@@jeffreychavers4810 wish I could help, my car was broken into, and they stole my clubs which had the wingman in it
Is the sound of the speaker supposed to come out all around the speaker? I just opened mine and it’s only coming out the right side.
Roland, can this be used by more than one person?
I honestly am not sure. I will try and test it as soon as I can but it would involve downloading the app on two different phones to see if they can both connect at the same time.
I bought one last year. Lost the remote first outing. You can by separate for like $15. You have to uninstall the app and reinstall to be able pair again with the new remote.
Yeah someone else a bit back had sent me the link but they were out of stock!! I'll try to post it again on here in case anyone loses theirs. Thanks for the comment!!
Does it do GPS from your phone or from the speaker or from the remote?
GPS is from your phone and the app and gets relayed to the speaker from there.
Hey Garage, in order for the device to work you have to have cell service, correct?
Because it uses the app on your phone I believe you would need to have service, correct. Although there have been times where my cell does not have service to call out but the app still is working.
@@GarageGolf thanks, this is what I found after I tried it at my course. No service, no device.
So if I had to walk 10 yards away from my phone to get to my ball and hit the remote, will the yardage be calculated from the location of my phone in that cart, or to the location I walked to with the remote?
The GPS is calculated by the app on the phone so it would go off of wherever your phone is located. In that situation you could put your phone in your pocket to get the accurate distance.
Have they added the save previous round and stats feature?
Not that I am aware of. The app was really the only thing holding back this device in all honesty. With a fantastic app there would be no competition.
Fantastic video!
Questions-
1. The charge is VERY slow. Anyone else experience this? I read it should charge in 1hr. Mine takes overnight to charge.
2. How do I check the % charge on Wingman?
3. Since I play the same course- How do I enter Putts, GIR, FIR? Golf nerd stuff- but good to review stats. Assume this is done manually in the app? Unsure how to enter.
4. Can another player(s) score be set? Or Wingman established for only one golfer?
Thx again for the video. Hit ‘em straight!
Thanks for watching! I am unsure on how to check the charge unless it is reflected in the app itself. I will try and double check this. I have not experienced any crazy issues with charging although I must admit I normally charge it overnight. Either that or I bring a portable charger with me to the course and just keep it charging while using it if needed. Unfortunately the app is the part that leaves a lot to be desired. I don't believe you can add any custom stats and even worse it doesn't save your scores so the next time you login in it doesn't have previous rounds on there. I feel that is a big flaw that needs to be fixed. Same thing goes for adding a second golfer, etc.
Excellent video!!! I used this weekend (Father's day gift) and loved it...but how do you find your scorecard from previous rounds?
Dan, I have found that this is a feature that is not available, much to my disappointment. I hope to see them incorporate this into their app as it seems crazy it is not included already.
How do you activate your playlist via voice command!?
What do you do if you are not near the cart, or cannot drive your cart to the ball?
I will either take the remote with me so I can push the button if the cart is close enough or you can take your phone with you as the app is fully functional without the device as well. Either will work in that specific scenario.
Does the app keep your stats after the round is over? Good video!
You know what unfortunately I don't think so. I have tried accessing this a few times now and it does not look like it saves the rounds on the app. I think a major oversite and something I hope they fix on an update to the app. If I'm going to track my score on the app I want it to be remembered and accessible later in my opinion.
@@GarageGolf thanks!
I just bought one but when I select a course the option to select th proper tee is not there. I am sing the white App not the Orange one
Does this work well on a golf push cart?
Definitely. It could go in your bag or right in a cup hold on the push cart most likely if the cart itself is not metal.
Had it paired with remote but now somehow the remote will not pair the speaker does right away but now niether will connect with the app need help
Have you tried going into the app and deleting any existing devices to start over new? I have had similar experiences from time to time with mine and remember doing this at one point also. I know I always have to connect through the golf app first to play golf if I want the buttons on the remote to provide the distances, etc instead of skipping to the next song. Hope this helps!
I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker and I ran across one of these at a pawn shop and I wanted to know can I use it as a Bluetooth speaker I wasn't going to use it as a for being on a golf course or anything like that I was going to put it on my mountain bike and listen to music while riding. I don't know how much hours on the battery usage
You can use it as a Bluetooth speaker without having to play golf and with the magnet it works really well. Battery life should be up to 10 hours or so.
@@GarageGolf this is perfect thank you so much for the info
Are the distances from location of the remote or your phone?
The GPS is attached to the app on your phone so it would be from the location of the phone itself. I would love to see it in the remote but not sure how they would do that.
How do you not get the phone to ring when using? Tried everything on my Iphone to turn off the ringer but nothing worked.Any suggestions?
I've had similar frustrations myself with it to be honest. That is one I have not figured out personally either but I'll see if I can reach out and if I hear anything I will certainly let you know!
@@GarageGolf Thank you
Is there a charge for using the Bushnell Golf app???
Hi Chuck. No there is not
Yeah it's the price of the speaker. No device no access to the app. At least that's been my experience.
I just registered my wingman, I understand almost everything. But how do I download or play music.
Go through the Bushnell app first and connect there going through the process. You can then select golf mode or music mode. After going through the app make sure to go back into Bluetooth and then connect the Wingman to your phone in Bluetooth settings to make sure it is connected. Once connected play music as normal and it should play on the device. If it does not but shows it being connected to your device via bluetooth under bluetooth settings, something may be defective there.
There is no way of tracking the whole thing if I lose it right? :/
Unfortunately no Brittany.
Bushnell does sell the remote separately
Does yours play music through only One side of the speaker?
You know what I never noticed that until I just checked it right now but you are correct. Im not sure if that was a recent app update or has always been that way. Still plenty loud but wonder why it is that way. Perhaps one side is used for music while the other side is used for distances and readback but still strange!
@@GarageGolf I believe that is the case
Yeah, that’s a let down on mine.
Remote $14.95 from Bushnell now available free shipping got an extra If I lose it or damage it....
That's not too bad of a price. Glad to see it is back in stock!
Must be different versions, mine does not have the flyover option
Why am I able to connect the wingman to my phone and play music after the Bluetooth step, but when I go back into the app it will not complete the registration?
What is the message you get during the registration process out of curiousity?
@@GarageGolf when I go back to the app and click the orange “next” button, the same pop up telling me to go my Bluetooth settings appears:
INFORMATION
Press and hold power on the Speaker until you hear abeep. Go to Bluetooth in your phone Settings and select Wingman from the devices list. Once paired, return to this app to complete registration.
I continue to get this message after multiple restarts, app redownloads and restarting my phone. Even though my phone does successfully pair and I can play music through the speaker on RUclips and Spotify.
UPDATE:
After calling Bushnell, I was using the old Legacy app with an orange background. After downloading the newer Bushnell Golf Mobile app with the white background I was able to successfully complete the registration.
Where does the GPS read from? The remote or your phone? I prefer not to have my phone in my pocket.
GPS is read from your phone. I don't ever have it in my pocket but instead use the remote from the Bushnell and push it for distances when needed.
So basically just gives audibles from the app?
Basically that is correct. You do need to have your phone with you for it to properly work as well. Still a very cool device in my opinion.
Another device to connect and deal with during a round - seems like a pain tbh. I have a smart watch and arccos already. Not for me. Cool idea though. Too many devices trying to give us all the same distance info.
It's one of the best portable speakers I've ever tested as well if that helps. I too own a watch and a SkyCaddie SX500 so sometimes I just use it for music and with the killer magnet on it so it attaches to anything metal.
And, you can charge you phone from it too!
I know. You can't beat that feature!!
You didn't mention how to use the function where it comments on the shot???
Youre right. That is actually very easy it is directly on the application itself under the settings tab. There is a way to add custom things for it to say when you hold down the button. You can go in there and change it as many times as you want.
@@GarageGolf Got it. Thanks
find remote function??
No such function on the device.
yes, my version has a Find Remote (next to settings) on the app.
This was a great tutorial and also proves that white men CAN dance '-)
Too damn funny! I have to work hard to make myself look that bad!! J/K Those are pretty much my go to moves!! Lol
Ha, I thought he was Latino. Dance moves were OK, it did add some comedic value😂Liked the review.
My Android app is nothing like that. That's pretty disappointing.
New Subscriber here! You didn't show how to load the music!!!
No loading of music required into the app or device. Just connect via bluetooth to your phone using the app and play music from your favorite streaming site or music saved directly on your phone. Super easy!
@@GarageGolf Thanks!
I have it, but it doesnt keep any history of your round, and only keeps scores for 1 person. Stats cant be review either. Other than that its great
I agree that is the biggest flaw. If they update their app to save rounds this thing can't be beat!
@@GarageGolf Hey when I play I keep track of putts the other items on the screen. BUT I can never see that stats. Do you know how?
Also, to use your phone easlier, I just bought this item from caddiebuddy. Used it the other day, very go purchase.

Speaker is nice for music but the golf gps talks so fast you cant even understand it
Can you use Spotify?
I don't see why not. It just connects via bluetooth through the Bushnell app so it should play virtually any audio from your phone at that point.
So it works off your phones gps and doesn't have a built in GPS for standalone mode. No thanks.
I'm not 100 percent sure but can tell you I don't believe it works without the app also running on your phone. The music feature will but not the golf features as far as I'm aware.
Just what you need someone blasting music while you are trying to play golf this new generation has no respect for golf etiquette so this just gives them something else to bother golfers with thank you Bushnell
Buckle up buttercup, everything will be ok
Wow, one must be patient to get to the real info. Lots of talk.
How about just saying Thank You for taking the time to do the video instead of complaining? Or just don’t say anything at all…There’s a thought.
Come on too many advertisements. It’s 15 minutes and you still aren’t in the video.
That’s a RUclips thing, not a me thing… I don’t control the ads that pop up on videos. There’s also a skip button to skip ads so check that out next time you look at a video on any monetized channel.
What a waste of time. Half of the presentation is about nothing.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for your positive input. Someone call the waambulance
