Rick has the pleasure of talking with golf's Greg Norman, this week on iHeartRadio as Norman has a new partnership with Garmin.

Have a listen to Rick and Greg!

Arguably the most successful athlete-turned-businessman in the world, Greg Norman is known as much for his entrepreneurial spirit in the boardroom as his dominance on the golf course. The internationally recognized “Great White Shark” won more than 90 tournaments worldwide, including two British Open Championships, and claims the distinction of having held the No. 1 position in the world rankings for 331 consecutive weeks. In 2009 and 2011, Greg served as the Presidents Cup Captain of the International Team and his strong influence in the game continues today.

A look at Garmin's premium Approach S62, a sleek GPS golf watch that integrates critical course information and full-color mapping, right on the wrist.

With its sunlight readable 1.3-inch color touchscreen–17 percent larger than the previous model –and scratch resistant ceramic bezel, the Approach S62 delivers an easier-to-read, larger display while upholding an elegant design that transcends the clubhouse. Boasting an array of features to help enhance a golfer’s game, the Approach S62 offers options such as PlaysLike Distance, Hazard View and introduces a Virtual Caddie to analyze critical factors such as wind speed, course layout, and a golfer’s past swings to select the best suited club for each shot.The Approach S62 is being showcased in the Garmin booth (#1813)at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Jan. 22-24.

“The Approach S62 gives golfers access to essential golfing information like no other watch on the marketwith a style that goes beyond the clubhouse,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Thanks to our new built-in Virtual Caddie and detailed course maps, the Approach S62 has the power to instantly transform into a caddie that knows you and 41,000 courses worldwide. ”The Approach S62 shines in its precise ability to help strategize and fine tune a golfer’s game. When golfers are stranded with a blind shot andunable to see the pin, the Approach S62’s PinPointer option shows players the exact direction to the pin. The watch uses the PlaysLike Distance option to adjust yardages to compensate for uphill and downhill shots, and with Hazard View golfers can quickly scroll through each hazard on the map to acquire critical distance information and know exactly what to avoid during play. Thanks to the Green View feature, no matter where the player is on the course, the watch will display each green’s true shape and allow golfers to drag-and-drop the pin for better yardage accuracy. Additionally, the Approach S62 utilizes an Auto shot round analyzer to measure and record detected shot distances."

This efficient game tracking feature can also be paired with optional Approach CT10 club tracking sensors to boost game tracking details.  Avid players can gain even more insight into their game after pairing the Approach S62 with the Garmin Golf app for access to the new golf performance widget. Stats are calculated in the app and then sent to the watch so users can review handicap index, fairway and approach shot hit/miss percentage, and green in regulation percentage. The app even provides analysis for strokes gained and allows users to participate in leaderboards and tournaments with other players around the world.
