Find the distance to the green for every shot with a golf rangefinder
For the avid golfer the golf course remains one of the few places where we can easily disconnect for a few hours. Once you take that first swing all your troubles lie behind your until you notice you just shanked your ball. Stepping on to the course for an after-work round is like going on vacation, and one thing that all golfers need while on vacation is a golf rangefinder.
Even though golf has a way of taking people back in time, technology has infiltrated the industry. Wether it’s the Golf Balls, the Clubs or the Rangefinders golfers have filled their bags with the latests gadgets. In the past, we had to walk off the steps to our ball, search for a marker with a yardage stamp, or just go blind and guess the best we could.
Todays world technology has made everything so much simpler. Just pull out your Rangefinder, point it at the green, and boom, you now know the distance to the flag and can now more easily know which club to pull out of your bag, and in theory, that should equate to a lower score.
What you should think about when selecting a golf rangefinder
When searching for the rangefinder that best fits your game, it’s important to consider functionality, maximum range, and of course, price.
Laser rangefinders function by projecting a high-frequency laser and calculating the amount of time it takes to bounce off an object and back to you. Most of them have a “pin-seeking” feature that helps your gadget locate the pin, and some will notify you with a vibration or a beep. Additionally, some have this super handy “slope” option, which accounts for slope angle to give you a more accurate “play’s like” distance for uphill and downhill shots.
Most amateur golfers max out in the low 300-yard range, so a 400-yard rangefinder should be plenty. But high-end models can measure up to 1,200 yards (just for kicks). And since most people have fixed incomes, a budget rangefinder around $150 will be just fine, but you can easily spend over $500 if you’re in the market to splurge.
