Re: Range finders
I use the pinseeker 1500 (~$400) and it's just amazing. It's really helped my game just from knowing exactly how far away I am...and it helps me when I'm practicing to know exactly how far I hit things. Sure you can't use it in tournies, but for those you just have to work harder on pacing stuff off, etc. I dunno how this model will perform, though; I've used ~$200 models of bushnell finders and they were more cumbersome than mine, but the one you're looking at is way lower, so I don't know how easy or reliable it will be.
You WILL NOT be able to shoot this at a pin/flag and get a distance...you'll have to shoot the grass around the pin and check it 2-4 times to get a 'decent' approximation. Only the very expensive ones can actually read standard flags (requires a computer chip OR the club putting a reflector on the flag stick).
