No secret, looks like best price for new rangefinders is about $250 - Leupold GX-1, or $225 for Bushnell Medalist.  Below that you're looking at off brand names, refurb units or eBay "deals".

I scored a new Bushnell Medalist on Ebay for just under $200.00 with shipping. Locally at the pro shop they are about $250.00 but this seller on Ebay also had BINs (Buy It Now) for $225 with free shipping.

It just arrived today so I haven't had a chance to mess with it. Can't wait to take it to the driving range tomorrow. I plan to range several shots while I'm there; how far my 1/2 - 3/4 punch/flop shots, pitches, etc go. There are plenty of flags at the range just no yardages given from anywhere out there.

I didn't buy it but the Dick's Sporting Goods near me had a Bushnell on clearance for $100. I believe it was a V2 but I'm not positive it was small if that helps.

      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

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
