GPS vs Rangfinders


chisag

Recommended Posts

I went back to gps because I enjoy the visual graphics of the hole layout on my SX400 and it's small enough for my back pocket.  I used the Bushnell v4 slope for years, but over time I used Golfshot Plus on my iWatch more than the Bushnell and used it mostly on par 3s.  I'm finally ditching the Golfshot after 11 years and subscribe to Skygolf.

I have the Arccos system. I love it. I’m very confident with it.  Love it’s picture of the holes.  Love it’s Caddie feature. It’s 99% of the time within one yard of rangefinders that my partners have. Love that I can move the pin to anywhere on the green. As well as get yardages to hazards or any spot on the hole and the subsequent yardage into the hole from that point. Outside of giving me accurate yardage I get a wealth of information afterwards on my round and it has helped me analyze and improve my game.

Yes. I chose that of the hundreds of shots I could have. But here is another. I could reach the green by flying over the lake. But I tried to play it safe off the tee and look what happened....disaster with my short game. Ughh

.... I love that 2nd hole! Covid stopped my winter retreat in Phoenix this year and Aguila was my go to course. Probably played it 50 times last winter. Really miss playing Aguila as the heat, elevation and hard fairways made that hole reachable in two for me when normally 515 and uphill the whole way for the second shot in soft midwest conditions is probably just out of reach.  Nice 4!

... Stop!!!! You're killing me. 🤣  I love that hole too, although if your approach settles in the wrong spot that is a tough green to read and putt.

By the way BBoston, desert golf means farther drives. I’m also 6’2” 245 lbs. I’m a big boy.  I posted earlier in another forum that I get this Statement  or variations of it a lot from people I play with.  “Nice drive man, even better bogey”.  My short game despite my practicing it is bad.

That’s a bomb drive in those conditions and your size.  Well done. I remember those cool days. I learned to play gold just outside Washington DC in Northern VA.  Fall and winter gold were fun!

I've played some interesting late fall and early spring rounds... more than once its started to snow. haha

I remember the first time I got to play with the AP2's my dad wanted to go in on the 7th hole since it was cold and windy.  It ended up snowing for the 8th and 9th but I played out much to his dismay.  haha

One day I'll get myself to a desert course.  Bet you still get some cool mornings/evenings out there too.

I once played on New Year’s day and didn’t reach a par three over the pond. It was frozen so when the ball hit it, it made an incredible and weird sound and the ball bounced up to the green!  Yes I’ve had some frost delays here. But rare. I don’t miss the sting in my hands. I’ll play in rain. I’ll play in the cold. I won’t play when it’s cold and raining!

Ummm that tee shot looks incredibly narrow off the box.  Gotta walk single file out of there?

haha tall trees casting quite the shadow there.  It is on the narrow side, with a marsh in for the first 60 yards or so.  But it opens up once you get to the landing area left and long of the bunker.  If you hit a nice fade off the left hand side of the fairway everything feeds back to the middle and down towards the hole.

I use both. GPS is “always on” for yardage to layups and green center. Laser is used on par 3 and holes where there is a hazard near green that I need specific yardage info for.

Similar here, though I will occasionally pull out the rangefinder for hazards or obstructions on hole, not just par 3s. Primary tool is Garmin GPS watch, with secondary being rangefinder. New rangefinder has slope, so I may be using it more on hilly courses than I did the old rangefiner (without slope).

I wish they made a gps watch that tracked how many steps/miles you walked.

Most, if not all, of the Garmin watches do. My watch (Vivomusic 3) is primarily a fitness tracker, and getting the golf GPS was a bonus.

I prefer the range finder.  As some others have said, I use it to look at a number of items around the target.  Bunkers, hills, things I want to avoid, so I can plan out a safe strategy.  I'll look at a front bunker, a back bunker, and see how deep the green is so I know whether I have a better chance of sticking it between them or playing to a more open part of the green.  It's just hard for me to visualize how that strategy would work looking at a GPS or something.

I find myself using the rangefinder for distances to pin and I leave the GPS set to large numbers for a quick glance as to front/back/middle numbers.  Occasionally, I'll check the GPS to see distances to water to determine layup shots.

I prefer the range finder. I like to use it to find different carries and where the trouble is.  I like to use it as binoculars to see slope on the greens are and different run offs and things of that nature. The GPS is very handy on blind holes and dog legs and such and in a scramble when you will inevitably try to hit a stupid sit that you would never try otherwise. That 290 yards green that suit directly behind a dog leg on the forward tees.

If I had one choice, it would be the rangefinder for its accuracy on approach shots. Having a GPS as a back up would be nice when I have no line of sight shots to the green.

Rangefinder doesn't give you the green front/back yardages.  GPS does.  GPS doesn't tell you where the flag is (duh), rangefinder does.  Like many, I use both sometimes.  Always use rangefinder though.  It's easier too when you have a routine so you don't feel hurried trying to get the GPS working (I use an app on my phone).  Don't care for the watch option as I realized I could just do better by unlocking my phone. 

I love blades.

A couple of manufacturers have incorporated gps into a LRF so you get both with one device.
