Comparing Golf Laser Rangefinders and Golf GPS

Golf Laser Rangefinders

Golf laser rangefinders work by sending out an infrared laser light to a certain target. It looks like a pair of binoculars but only more powerful. In fact, the latest units are able to magnify images to up to seven times. The device measures the duration from when the light is sent until the target is reached. It has a very slim margin of error and is extremely precise within one yard. For greater precision, some units are also capable of providing slope readings. It is able to get a reading of the distance to any target without having to download maps. The unit is lightweight, sturdy, and remains functional for a very long time. It can also be used while on a practice range.

Despite its many advantages, the golf laser rangefinder also has its own share of disadvantages. Bad weather can make it difficult to obtain an accurate reading. Using this device also expends a lot of battery power. A person with problems in visual acuity would also have trouble in determining the right measurement because the user may be unable to see the target pin. A steady hand is also needed to obtain precise readings.
