Range Finders – The Quickest Way to an Accurate Yardage


Is it time to ditch your strokesavers? Well, not quite yet. You still need them to show you where everything is on the hole and to decide how you want to play the hole. However, you can't beat a range finder for getting you a good yardage.

Before you buy a range finder, I recommend that you spend some time on the range and work out how far you hit each club. This will allow you to make better use of the range finder on the course.

Secondly, most golfers don’t play on a flat golf course. To get an accurate reading when faced with an uphill or a downhill shot, you need a range finder with a slope facility, also known as an inclinometer. This takes into account that uphill shots play a little longer and downhill shots pay a little shorter than the actual yardage.

The range finder that I recommend is the
Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 With Slope


They may seem like a luxury item, but when you consider it, the majority of golfers spend more money on a driver that has no guarantee will help their game. Now you will know exactly how far you hit it and what club to use it. This will help you save shots.
