TESTERS WANTED! ×

Horrible day...

Recommended Posts

Yikes sorry man. I’d keep calling for a few days. Maybe someone will have a change of heart and turn it in?

If not... after being part of the test group for the Precision Pro NX9 HD I still highly recommend it.

Well, I went to a course about 30 miles North of me, a “Country Club”, to play 18. It’s semi-private, and only $30 for 18 with cart. It’s in a small, rural town, so when I pulled-in, I was the only one not in a pick-up truck. I paid for my round, and hit a small bucket of balls.

Once I got on the course, I didn’t have any type of a swing I could depend on. Couldn’t get off the tee, couldn’t even hit 3 wood, or 4 iron straight off the tee either. Approaches were bad, and my putting was atrocious. When the round ended, I grabbed my stuff, bought a beer, and headed home.

 

When I got home, I realized I didn’t have my rangefinder! Crap. I left it hooked-up on the arm of the cart. I called the Club, but I had two things going against me: they don’t write down who gets which cart, and there aren’t any kids grabbing your cart when you’re done. I called, and the girl from the club took down my info. She just called and said no one turned it in. Crap! I’ve had that laser for over a year, Nikon Coolshot Pro, and I’ve taken it everywhere across the South and never left it behind, but when I do, it’s at a place where it can’t be tracked, or no cart barn guys to help. $400.

 

So, a crap round, and I’m out $400. No one’s fault but mine, and I still can’t believe I didn’t grab it off the post! Ugh. Sucks. I’ve never had something I’ve left behind not turned-in to the pro shop. So mad at myself. Such an expensive mistake.

When I first saw the title "Horrible Day", I thought, well at least he got to play golf, but after I read your post, without being able to retrieve your rangefinder, that really was horrible, damn.  😞

I have a Nikon Cool Shot too,  bought it 3 years ago for like $460, it has slope and anti-vibration.   Hopefully somebody will do the right thing and return yours.

Sorry to hear about this, I think it's terrible when someone won't do the right thing and turn it in. I don't see how people can live with themselves when they just take someone's stuff. 


I agree

Like someone earlier said, I’d keep phoning for a while, just in case. I’ve accidentally gone home with someone’s club before when I’ve picked it up on the course. I hope that’s all that’s happened 🤞🏼

And if they have nicked it, I hope all their rounds from now on are worse than the one you had there. Much worse!

Yeah... that's a bummer. I bet they saw you didn't drive a pickup. J/K.

I'd ask if they would post a flyer (that you provide) in the pro shop in some conspicuous place. Somebody has it. There's always hope.

They called this AM and still no luck.
I’m going to call them later today and ask if they’ll post a “reward” flyer for me. I figure if I put pictures of the device, and the Frogger attachment it had with it, around the club, at least if it’s a member who has it, they my play with someone else and another might say, “Hey, that’s that missing laser...” I figure I’ll offer $100.

I hate losing stuff - regardless of what it is and how much it cost. 3 years ago I lost a Nikon cool shot on the course, it still annoys me. It someone isn't using it, they probably posted an ad on Craigslist.

On a related note, I'd pay $400 for a round off golf at my local muni right now. 

How much for a course with “fairways” like these?

Hopefully someone would just do the right thing without a reward being offered.  If someone has kept it, I hope they break their driver shaft on the next swing.

Ouch - been there but nothing quite that expensive.  A couple clubs here and there which I'm sure many of us can relate.

If nothing does end up turning up - you might check out the Precision Pro with slope and vibration.  I've had mine for about 2.5 years now and the company sends you batteries for life for replacements.  I think they are $170 right now at rock bottom golf and you may be able to find additional discount codes.

Yeah, I have an old Nikon Laser 500 that's probably 15 years old and still works as well if not better than any newer model my friends have. I almost had a similar story last summer having left it at one of the best courses in the area (The Majestic at Lake Walden). I didn't even notice it missing for a few days until I was 150 miles away. Not expecting to ever see it again, I called them & their cart attendant had turned it in. It took me another several days to get back there to retrieve it, but I did and they wouldn't even take a tip for their trouble. Very lucky!!

However, I'm almost to the point where I'd take a horrible day at the golf course, just to be at the golf course!!  😀

My NX7 Pro went bad and Precision Pro sent me a HD as a replacement so I can comment on the differences. The NX7 Pro feels a bit less bulky (not sure of actual dimensions). The pin seeker acquires the pin very quickly, even with trees surrounding the green. Definitely faster and more accurate than my older Coolshot. It has a strap feature. - I always attached a long colorful lanyard since I had a habit of leaving it on a fairway.

The HD has a wider and clearer field of vision, although the Pro was clear. The vibration on the HD for the pin seeker is not as pronounced (almost none) but it picks up the pin as fast or faster than the Pro. Initially I had to check if it picked up the pin since I was use to the vibration of the Pro (last Fall when pins were still in). No strap feature but it does have a magnet.

FYI I noticed (before covid) that Precision Pro products were available at our local GG store. Although the I haven't checked on line at GG.

For me what speaks volumes is customer service. I sent PP a pm on this site when I had the problem with the Pro and had an response just a couple of hours later. The new unit was sent the following day, without waiting for the Pro to be returned. They didn't question or try to fix via phone. I would definitely buy another one.

And as you're probably aware they did have coupon codes for MGS members.
