Hello all,
I just picked up the game in June and love it. I have taken a few lessons and have been pretty active on the course as well as the range.
My question is this, how can one determine a more accurate estimation of club distances? I am striving for better accuracy rather than how far i can whack the ball. But at the same time it is crucial to have a true-er estimation to be able to reach the greens more often. At the range there are so many variables (poor balls, mats etc), and when on the course it is hard to gauge distance unless you play the course a few times and learn which club to use at which hole. I have even thought of a laser range finder, only I'm not sure if they can pin point a ball on the course.
Any ideas would be very appreciated, thanks.
