anyone who is any good a golf uses a real rangefinder to shoot the pin and the various parts of the green, not some garmin that a chink put a yardage in last year

I can't bring myself to use a rangefinder scope all the time. either way you're factoring in wind, elevation, general temp, green firmness, and other shit so you still have to do your mental calculus. they're useful mostly for figuring out where to lay up on par 5s and other strange situations.

I use a bushnell phantom and clip it onto the bag / stick it onto the cart roof arm and call it a day. it gives accurate front/middle/back numbers.

that's just like my reaction to the idea of wearing a watch to golf man. if it works for you then go for it. purists who insist on walking off yardages instead of using basic tech shit are the real dumb ones.

yeah i'm pretty skeptical of it myself so let's see how it goes, i didn't love the apple watch when i had it briefly. unfortunately i keep score on thegrint app right now and my one friend always lies about his fucking scores even though he sucks so i feel pressure to fudge my scores too. excited to just move away from that and keep score on this thing along with all the other supposed benefits.

It may save you 0.5 strokes a round vs using the markers/walking off distances/eyeballing it

Yeah, not expecting much. Will be nice to put away my phone for the round and get accurate distances for all my clubs.

Yeah, to me, the biggest benefit is saving scorecards and shot tracking. Also saving a bit of time with getting a ballpark yardage is nice.

How do you like it?

I got one for xmas but I'm still alternating between G12 (clip on belt) and G80 (magnetic attachment to bag)

G80 is sick because it also has a launch monitor that takes 2 seconds to setup

g80 seems vastly superior over the g12, especially for the range work. think it could be clunky on the course though.
