Im looking for one that gives me not only yardage in, but how far i hit the ball. Are there ones like this out there. or do you just point the rangefinder at the ball to find out how far you hit a drive, for example? Can it pick up a golf ball?

I played around with a top of the line leupold, and it was lightning quick.

Your thoughts?

I have a bushnell.  It can't pick up a ball unless it's really close.  When I want to measure my drives, I walk out to the ball and point the range finder back at the tee.  It picks up the tees no problem.

I have a Golf Buddy Platuim, It has a option to Mark you're location at the tee box then the distance to the ball when you get there. I like it work well for me. I picked it up on craigslist for 150.00

No range finder can shoot a ball in the fairway from the tee box.........

The only way to get a distance is if there is a target near the tee you can shoot from the ball.  IE....a ball washer or tree trunk near where you teed from.  If you know that object is +-5yds or whatever from the tee markers, then you can get a good idea of how far you hit the tee shot.

This.  Use your laser to shoot back to the tee when you get to your tee shot.  You can usually shoot the hole sign, or someone standing on the tee behind you.  When you're hitting an approach, you can always shoot the flag (or whatever you're aiming at).  You'll know whether you were long or short pretty easily.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
