I feel like all this tech makes it less about skill and more about gadgets. What’s next, GPS shoes?
Haha, wouldn’t that be something? But in reality, learning to trust your instincts is key!

I’ve found rangefinders to be game-changers in tournaments, especially for precise yardage on tricky holes. Knowing the distance can really help in decision-making. What models have you all used?
I completely agree! I use the Bushnell Tour V4. The slope feature really helps me gauge my shots better. Have you tried any specific features that work well?
Great tips! I still struggle with the adjustment during tournaments. How do you recommend integrating rangefinder use into your game without it feeling overwhelming?

Practice is key! Use it regularly during casual rounds to get familiar with distances and readings. The more comfortable you are, the smoother it goes in competition.
Sometimes I feel like over-relying on my rangefinder can throw me off. How do others balance instincts with technology?
That’s a great point! I always check my gut feeling first. A rangefinder should complement your intuition, not replace it. Trust your instincts too!
I love my rangefinder, but I still sometimes miss reading the green’s slope. Do you think a rangefinder with slope adjustment is worth it for a weekend golfer?
Absolutely, especially if you play a lot of hilly courses! It can significantly improve your approach shots and reduce guesswork.
I think many players misjudge with rangefinders because they forget to consider wind conditions. Anyone else notice this?
So true! It’s easy to get caught up in the number the rangefinder shows without factoring in wind and elevation. Always take those into consideration!
