The USGA has now approved the use of a golf gps rangefinder during a round of golf. With this being said there is no excuse to not have one in your golf bag. By using a gps rangefinder during your round of golf or during your practice session, you will always have the correct yardage right in your hand. You will not have to walk off yardages to sprinkler heads or yardage markers that are fifty yards apart.

Here are 5 ways to improve your game by using a golf gps rangefinder:

1.     Exact  Yardages

Golf courses have various ways of marking yardages in the fairways. The challenge is simple. Most of these markers are incorrect or are marked inconsistently. This is especially true of the markers that need to be moved by the maintenance team for mowing. Sometimes, these markers can be over ten yards off! That puts you in the front bunker instead of having a short birdie putt.  A benefit of a golf gps rangefinder is that you will always have the exact yardage to the flag.

2.     Club Selection

It is one thing to be able to hit a good golf shot and a whole different thing to hit one the correct distance. When you are on the driving range or practice tee, you also need to know the distance to every practice flag. By using a golf gps rangefinder, you can know the average yardage that you hit every club.

3.     Confidence

Confidence will come naturally as you are positive that you now have the correct yardage and you know how far you hit each one of your golf clubs. With a golf gps rangefinder, you can make better golf club decisions on the golf course that will not allow you to reach the trouble and make a golf swing that is well within your capabilities. This will let you make a good golf swing that is in balance and not rush your swing.

4.     Improve Wedge Play

Finding a driving range that has multiple yardage markers that are under 100 yards is difficult to do. However, with a golf gps rangefinder, you will be able to know the distance for every little short game half shot. Although it will work for all teaching philosophies, this is really helpful if you are using the Dave Pelz theory of using a clock to control your wedge distances.  

5.     No  Penalty Strokes

Now that you know all of the distances that you hit each of your golf clubs, a golf gps rangefinder will help you decrease your penalty shots as you will be able to control your distances and keep the golf ball short of the water hazard, lateral hazard or bunker. Keeping the ball in play, you will be able to lower your scores quickly.

Golf gps rangefinders vary in cost depending on the amount of features available on the unit. The five reasons to own a unit listed above will help you lower your golf scores and your handicap.
