I am just curious to see how many of you are using range finders on the course. I mean legal ones no slope.

With the changing of technology and new gear that is available for legal tournament use I can't see how anyone is going with out one of these now a days. The advantage of being able to pin point yardages you need to know is key. I have started using one full time since the end of last year and I have noticed a huge improvement in Constancy with FIR and GIR. Especially when it comes to competitive playing being able to know exact yardages is key to confidence. I have been using the Bushnell Tour V2 and I can say it is easy the best club in my bag.

Opinions and User feedback??

I use one. Not on every hole, and not even every round, but here and there to make sure my distances are what I think they are.

I recently got one.  I've been out of the game for about a decade due to military commitments, so I'm basically starting starting over.  I haven't really used it during play, but I use it extensively at the range as I'm trying to pin down exactly what my yardages are these days.  At the range I frequent the teeing areas aren't in a line but rather more of a curve, whereas the yardage markers extend straight out from the center of that curve.  If I'm on one of the ends, I'm hitting diagonally to the yardage markers, so they're basically meaningless.

I use one and it is the best investment I have ever made. There is nothing like knowing that you have 118 to carry the bunker and 130 to the pin to allow you to have confidence to hit that shot under the pin knowing exactly how much room you have.

I am going on the second full with mine and couldn't be happier.  Simply point and shoot and I know exactually which club I need for the shot.  IMO, the exact yardage gives me more confidence.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
