The rangefinder works okay as long as there is another golfer where the pin is or there is no major background tree or pole. It is difficult to get an accurate distance when aiming at the pin, even when there are the little prism devices in the pole. When there are no prism devices, it is a crap shoot and trusting the distance the rangefinder gives is a matter of horse sense instead of trusting the measurement it gives you.

Received a defective unit. Tried it once. Could not get an accurate measurement. Exchanged the laser rangefinder for a GPS unit. Laser is more accurate but GPS is easier to use.

It has worked beautifully. It accurately measured a pin at 421 yards. It’s small and easy to use.

A significant advantage of the Leupold GX-1 over the Bushnell V2 Tour is the waterproof feature. That tipped the scales for me.

After using this range finder, I put my Skycaddie GPS back into the box. I find this range finder much more accurate and much easier to use than the GPS. You also don’t have the problems of having to download courses and constantly charging the batteries of a GPS. Best of all, there are no yearly fees with a range finder!
If you get one, here are a few tips on use:
- When in a golf cart, I drive up to my ball and rest my arms against the steering wheel and “shoot” the target with the range finder. This technique works well if you don’t have a steady hand.
-Aim for the flag, it is bigger than the pin. If someone is still on the green, you can also get a distance off of them.
-You don’t have to take off your sunglasses to use it. You can easily read the distance by placing the viewfinder next to your glasses
-I sometimes “shoot” the fairway for distance; you can pretty much aim at anything to get distance.
-I find that the range finder stores nicely in the large cup holder of a golf cart.
-I will take multiple reading on a pin since I occasionally will hit a target behind the pin and get an incorrect reading.
