I pesonally would go Rangefinder. Got one a couple months ago and the battery died one round and I was just lost. GPS are probably close enough but 5 yards mean a different club so I like to have the exact yardage. If you walk then maybe the watch is more convenient and you are just giving up exact distance for that convenience. I have to guess that what the earlier poster does when his friend has to take his out of his bag and put it back in over and over because obviously if you ride there are plenty of places to keep it if it comes with a case. I got the bushnell v3 and it's accurate, easy and quick hitting the pin. Doesn't work in dense fog though. It has a jolt feature but I have never used it. I would think everything in the $300 range would work about the same though most people will probably tell you what they have is the best.

I chose garmin s3 watch for it's convenient, at a glance yardage whilst walking, I easily get two full rounds to 1 charge so I only charge it once a week, plus you can add upto 5 markers per each hole for distances to hazards etc so it's not just front middle and back of green. However if you cart round a lot I could then see the advantage of a range finder or hand held device! Each to their own really, whatever is most convenient to the player, only you can decide that!

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
