You most definitely won't be dissapointed with the V2.  I used mine this past season as it was a Christmas gift and it was just brilliant.  Easy to shoot targets, slope works great.  All around a great item and invaluable to golfers like myself.

i would just get a bushnell if i were you, all the courses are pre-loaded!  GPS's can get 3-5 yards off, where as a range finder is 100% accurate.  I got one last year for my birthday and it is awesome.  And, for some reason if you get the orange one it is $100 cheaper, exact same range finder, just orange.

They're as accurate as the person aiming the device. Miss the mound behind the green and catch a tree in the background and you could be 40 yards off. You still have to use your brain, "hmm . . . that seems off, better take another shot" will be a common phrase at first.

One thing I like to take a shot of is the group ahead in the fairway. I know exactly how far out they are. Not sure why so many people just guess.

I would think that *3-5 yards off* is close enough for most of us. Well, for all except that 30 HC I used to play with that swore he could differentiate his shot from 176 - 178 yards.

The magnification you get with rangefinders (usually around 7x, I believe) tends to negate any visibility issues (other than line of sight, of course.)

    • 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.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
