Golf, as all golfers know, is a sport that requires great mental preparation, pinpoint accuracy, and precision on the golf course. These are the requirements that every golfer needs to excel in the game.

So if something comes along that will alleviate some of these issues and, in turn, improve your game, you should obviously consider it. That’s where the golf rangefinder will come into the equation because not only does it eliminate the yardage guessing game every golfer goes through when on the course, it will also go a long way in reducing his handicap. By having a golf rangefinder as part of your golf arsenal, you’ll enjoy the best shot available to you, regardless of where you are on the course.

Golf rangefinders are intended to improve your golf game simply by providing highly accurate distance readings to physical objects around the golf course. The rangefinder emits a laser beam that will be focused on an object and then the rangefinder evaluates the distance in the time it will take the laser beam to bounce off the subject and back to the rangefinder. Basically, what the golf rangefinder allows a golfer to do is accurately drive their way to the hole.

The golf rangefinder displays distance instantly and much faster than using a GPS unit. The rangefinder uses a laser beam and the latest digital technology to measure the distance to any object. Many rangefinders also give you accurate distance, even if the target is blocked by debris (leaves) or any other hazard present on golf courses.

Golf rangefinders are a necessary accessory for almost any serious golfer. Some of the improved rangefinders that are available will give you an accuracy of 1 yard for a distance of about 1500 yards. There are several new rangefinders that are almost as small as a new golf ball. They are also very easy to use and due to their small size you can keep them in your pants pocket.

In making your decision about the best golf rangefinder for you, you need to consider your own level of play, whether you play regularly in tournaments or simply take up the game as a leisure hobby. You should also compare the features of all available golf rangefinders and buy the best golf rangefinder that suits your level of play and of course the amount of money you can spend.

Some of the recommended golf rangefinders are the Bushnell Medalist, the Bushnell Tour v2. Leupold’s gx-1 and gx-2 models and the SkyCaddie SG5 GPS are highly recommended.

If your pocket can afford it, the Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker with its built-in slope measurement technology is a really good rangefinder. And if you and your fellow players can come to terms with the USGA rule violation, I’d advise getting your hands on this beauty; especially if you like to visit many different courses for the first time.

I can honestly say that I have improved my golf game since I purchased my Bushnell Pinseeker rangefinder. Not only did it help me take the shots out of my handicap, but it also made me the envy of my fellow players. In fact, they started relying on me to lend it to them so they could stop me from winning all the time.

If you are serious about your golf game like I am, then you should consider investing in a golf rangefinder. You will never regret having made the decision; in fact, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
