Rangefinders & GPS

Guessing yardages costs the average golfer several shots a round, usually short and usually into a bunker. Laser rangefinders give you an exact number to the flag; GPS watches and handhelds give you front, middle and back plus the trouble you can't see.

Our pros use these devices in competition, so accuracy and speed of reading are the whole test. Whichever you choose, the habit matters more than the hardware: get a number, trust it, commit.
