Or get a magnetic belt holster for my rangefinder |
Date: September 21st, 2024 7:36 PM Author: Autistic Poppy Sanctuary Hairy Legs i can’t imagine playing with a phone in my pocket. rangefinder is ok but ljl at having it on your belt when playing your shots.
are you in a cart on path only courses? i can’t stand that shit |

Date: September 21st, 2024 10:15 PM Author: Grizzly crusty corner macaca Yeah like 80% of the time I have to walk away from the cart and leave my phone/rangefinder so I won't forget them
Wearing a watch seems either perfect or really annoying |

Date: October 2nd, 2024 4:44 PM Author: t14 Was so close to getting H4 but saw people complaining about having to manually tag the club before each shot
I can't imagine incorporating that into my routine
If I didn't care about tracking specific club distances (which I probably won't care about later on) and just wanted distance to center of green + map then H4 would be perfect
Garmin has no subscription either |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 12:01 PM Author: Grizzly crusty corner macaca wtf at every sentence in this post
How can someone be good enough for a GPS but not range finder
And every cart has GPS now. That doesn't solve the problem at all
Lol

Date: September 22nd, 2024 12:15 PM Author: costumed rehab round eye range finder takes way more effort and slows down your round for minimal gain even for good players, which you are not. I haven't seen a cart with a gps screen in a long time, though they were common like 15 years ago. everyone uses some combination of portable gps, range finder, or phone now so clubs don't waste $ on the screens any more.

Date: September 22nd, 2024 12:18 PM Author: Grizzly crusty corner macaca I agree there are issues using a range finder, that's why I made this thread.
But every golfer should know how far their ball is from the flag (or layup target) before swinging. Even the worst one on the course. |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 12:20 PM Author: costumed rehab round eye I agree. that's why I said to get a regular GPS or if you are playing at courses with it built into the cart just use that or wear a watch if you don't mind wearing one and kind of looking like a fag.

Date: September 22nd, 2024 10:31 AM Author: Motley Mother Watch is good enough and less distracting than a phone in your pocket IME. One of the ones that automatically records your shot locations and with scoring is handy for tracking your game. I don't really feel I'm good enough to need to precision of a range finder, and the range finder setting that adjusts for elevation is kind of cheating.

Date: September 22nd, 2024 12:12 PM Author: Grizzly crusty corner macaca It should be illegal to use a range finder on the green. They all have the slope thing now but never seen a single person use it for putting (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5599356&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310919",#48119643) |

Date: October 2nd, 2024 3:50 PM Author: t14 S12 has it it too if you get the ct10 sensors
Even with the s42 and s70 you still need a few sensors for wedges and putter because they only auto-track full swings |

Date: October 2nd, 2024 5:10 PM Author: Judas Jones s42 picks up 90%+ of chips/pitch shots and punch outs IME. I don't really use it for putting, but maybe I'll pick up a putter sensor to get better information there.

Date: October 2nd, 2024 3:57 PM Author: t14 Wound up getting Garmin g80 since it has a launch monitor for driving range.
Now I can get rid of my MLM2 and never use my iPhone ever again for golf/range shit (my main goal)
I will mount g80 to my cart/trolley and holster g12 to my belt with a magnet
After I get used to the basic Garmin features I'll try their watch |
