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.

In my Bagboy cart bag:
Driver: TM R11s 10.5 R-flex 3W: TM 09 Burner 3H: TM 09 Burner Irons: TM Tour Burner 4-PW r-flex
Wedges: Wilson TW9 GW, Ping Eye 2+ SW, Vokey SM 58.08      Putter:TM Rossa Spider Ball: TM TP/Red LDP, TF Gamer v2   Range Finder: GX-I

      Modern PGA Tour Bunker Shot

      By saevel25 ·

      I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?

      Model Local Rule Rocks and Roots (Please Let Me Know Your Thoughts)

      By saevel25 ·

      I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By The Flush ·

      I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.
