Those are our 3 favorites. You can check out the full blog post for a more in-depth review of each of the rangefinders and the cheapest place to pick them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do You Even Need A Rangefinder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know about you but I got really sick and tired of constantly missing the green<\/strong> because I had too much or too little club. The majority of the time I have a great drive and then I\u2019d always struggle picking the right club for my second shot. It was the biggest killer in my game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only that but I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve probably hit the fairway wood of your dreams on a par 5 only to find the ball at the bottom of a creek. If only there were a way to find out how far away it was before\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know it\u2019s probably hard to believe, but getting a rangefinder was something that really improved my game<\/strong> almost overnight. I had to confidence to pick the right club and take my shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of them even track your score, fairways and greens hit<\/strong>, and some other cool stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to answer the question\u2026yes<\/strong>, I believe having a rangefinder is an absolute must on the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But which one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are 3 different options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- A laser rangefinder.<\/strong><\/li>
- A handheld GPS.<\/strong><\/li>
- A GPS watch.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A laser rangefinder pretty much uses a laser to bounce off different targets and give you a distance. They\u2019re probably the most reliable one but most of them do that, and that only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A handheld GPS uses satellites to give you a 2D image of the course which shows distances to greens, bunkers, creeks, etc. Most of them keep score of your round and some of them even give you additional data which is pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A GPS watch is pretty similar to the handheld except (you probably guessed it) goes on your wrist. It\u2019s pretty cool but it\u2019s a much smaller screen so it can be harder to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways, all 3 of them work well and I\u2019ll go into my favorite for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bushnell Tour V4 Laser Rangefinder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Bushnell is my favorite rangefinder<\/strong> company and I\u2019ve been using them for years for hunting. They\u2019ve always come out with a solid product and this is exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve tested multiple different lasers and this one, in my opinion, is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extremely well made, durable, easy to use, and is super accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only downside to laser distance finders is that you need a clear line of sight on the target for it to work and a lot of the time they don\u2019t work that great when it\u2019s foggy. Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n
