The golf rangefinder has of late become an important part of the game of golf. Golf rangefinders have become an important part of the game of golf in recent times. They help you with club selection and can tell you a lot about how far you can hit the ball with each of your own clubs.
A golf rangefinder has also become more affordable, so the average golfer can now spend a little less on golf clubs and add a rangefinder to the golf bag instead.
In this article I am going to tell you how a rangefinder can help you lower your score. The fact is that few golf accessories will have as big an impact on improving your game.
How can a golf rangefinder lower your score?
First let me tell you what a golf rangefinder is and how it works.
A Golf rangefinder is a small device that fits in your hand and will tell you the distance between you and another object. A rangefinder can be a GPS measuring unit that measures distance via satellite, a laser-based rangefinder that uses objects to bounce a laser off of to get an accurate distance measurement to that object, or a telescope that uses a “line” to measure the distance to an object.
This might not sound like something that will or can improve your game, but the truth is that it is a very powerful thing once you learn how to use the rangefinder to your advantage.
Find the danger or the flag
Knowing the distance from you to a hazard or the putting green will help you a lot in your club selection.
How do you think professional golfers choose their clubs when competing? How do you think they choose their golf clubs with such precision when hitting a perfectly weighted ball straight onto the green? It’s because they know exactly how far they are going to hit the ball with each of their clubs. They also know the golf course they are playing on and the distance between them and the next hazard (water, bunker, tree) or the green and make a club selection accordingly.
A rangefinder will tell you exactly how far you will have to hit the ball to get past the bunker, tree, water, or putting green. The rangefinder will tell you how far you hit the ball, and over time, you’ll learn like a pro golfer which club to use in which circumstances. If you decide to add a rangefinder to your golf equipment, I can promise you that it will not be something you will regret if you really want to improve your game.
You will be using it on most holes and you will most likely become addicted to your rangefinder, it will be like having your own cheap version of your personal caddy.
increase your confidence
A good rangefinder will make you play more confidently and at a faster pace. As you line up to take your next shot, you’ll discover the distance to the next bunker in a matter of seconds. It will also give you a precise measurement between you and the flag giving you a great advantage when choosing your clubs.
