Range finder for sure! I need to know more than front, center and rear. Like, what club will get me in to the tree line just over the right bunker?

I have a Leupold and a Garmin G8, but dont like to carry them in my pockets and every round I forget to bring one. With the GPS band, that would never be an issue....

I think the Nexus Laser Rangefinder would be the most beneficial to my game as knowing the exact yardage I think would help in being able to fine tune my round on the course. I’ve used both rangefinders and GPS in the past, but seem to gravitate towards a rangefinder more as the actual yardage is more important most of the time.

PrecisionPro would be better for me - I prefer exact distances to the pin and surrounding targets or hazards. While front, middle and rear are all good distances, sometimes you need the exact to play a specific shot or know the exact yardage to a tier on a green.

Living in Florida and all the heat, I wear sweat bands on both arms to stop the sweat from getting to my hands. Wearing a watch isnt an option for me. Even if that was not the case I prefer the laser because I want to know the exact distance to the flag. Sure its nice to know the distance to front, middle and back of the green, but if it is a big green it could mean a totally different club if thats the only yardage you go by. I can adjust my shot accordingly with exact distance to flag.

The Laser would be the best tool for me. The GPS can essentially be found on an cellphone and be utilized for course management, but there is nothing like being able to pinpoint how close you are to the pin or to a bunker off the fairway. Laser just allows you to have so much more flexibility with your course management.

I am a minimalist golfer and distance control is very important when you are trying to hit a variety of shots with the same club. I would prefer the laser rangefinder because you can use it on the range as well as the course to track distance and it is easier to find distances to hazards and trees. It will also give you the opportunity to accurately measure drives. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter!

would love to have the laser! My group plays as many different courses as possible each year including trips to Myrtle and Florida, it would be wonderful to know exact yardages to landmarks for course management purposes. There is a definite competitive advantage to knowing your yardages and being able to hit them, and a laser will help to do just that.

I would prefer the Nexus rangefinder because I love having exact distances to the flag, especially when using wedges or short irons. Almost every golf shot you have to take off yardage to get pin high, so not having exact yardages is always a detriment. You also can find the distances to bunkers and water with the rangefinder.

I used range finders, I've used GPS units but I've never owned a wearable GPS. I often fail to get yardages and go off of feel because my playing partners run off to find their shots in the woods (often I'm in the woods too) and I forget to grab my gear. I think with a wearable Ill lower scores by having the yardage i need easily accessible. Thanks WRX and PP!
