Wicki Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I use golf logix and Swing U to get my yardage, as well as a range finder that was handed down. I do not like the range finder, it bounces too much with my heart beats. Would love to have something more convinent and quicker than a have to go into an app. Then have to wait a moment to catch up.
