Garmin Birthday Sale Cuts Up to $500 Off Approach Launch Monitors

Garmin is running a Birthday Sale through September 20 to mark the company's 37th year, with discounts of up to $500 across its Approach golf tech lineup, including its launch monitors.

What's included in the sale?

The discounts cover the Approach G80 launch monitor and the top-of-the-line Approach R50, a combined launch monitor and golf simulator unit. The R50 is priced at $4,499 with the $500 discount applied. Golf Monthly's testing team has rated both units highly, with reviewers highlighting the G80's shot-tracking accuracy and the R50's simulator features.

A $500 cut on a launch monitor that still lists above $4,000 is a meaningful discount, not a clearance markdown.

Who are these launch monitors for?

The G80 is built as a standalone launch monitor for tracking shot data on the range or at home, while the R50 adds full golf simulation, making it suited to golfers who want to play virtual courses indoors rather than just track practice sessions.
