At your home course you don't really need it. Over time you get used to certain objects as markers, its an unfamiliar course where it comes in handy.

Bushnell seem like the best brand just doing a little research. They aren't cheap that's for sure. If I get one I'll give my feedback on here.

Mainly because you were standing in them as opposed to using them as markers? ;)

are phones with gps apps allowed in competition these days?

if so, golfshot is much much cheaper than any rangefinder, and it works great. accurate to a couple of metres based on me standing right next to known course markers etc.

but not sure if they are actually allowed as i dont play in comps

State Sanctioned events no. Must be a dedicated device.

Club's have local rules regarding the use of them.

Go and see Brayden the pro at Sandy Creek, he is a genuine bloke, honest and gives you what you need rather than just flog you anything.

I think you are from out the northern suburbs aren't you?
