My GPS app doesn't actually have any things that are included. It has a satellite map. You touch a spot on the map and it tells you the exact distance to that spot from where you're standing as well as the distance from that spot to the hole.

where are you from bro? anywhere near albany?

Is this a thread where users state their own 'They should invent...' ideas ??

If so, they need to put a tiny GPS or some sort of chip inside golf balls so you can find 'em !!

been down the GPS and laser road....the laser by far won this battle

For me, a GPS is far more valuable considering that most of the time, I don't fire at pins. As long as I know the front, middle and back distances my gps gives me, and correlate that to the flag position, I'm good. Also, in the sceneraio where I may hook a drive into the fairway next door, and have to hit my shot onto the green over a tree, the lazer is 100% useless as I can't "lazer" through the tree that is blocking my view. With the gps, I still have my front, middle and back distance from the spot im standing.

I prefer the laser rangefinder but every time I'm one (or more) fairway over, debating carrying a dogleg on a new course, or even playing to a wrong fairway off the tee to avoid a hazard, I'm wishing I had both.

When I'm hitting it down the middle on the local muni a rangefinder or GPS is not necessary.

No, I moved here from the south about 10 years ago to go to RPI. I occasionally play at Frear.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
