Since rangefinders were given a green light for 2006 by both the USGA and R&a (read about it here), they’re expected to be among the most sought-after golf accessories in the coming year. What this mean is, that you’re at a disadvantage without one. Sure… You can always estimate the distance to the pin by eye, but you’ll never be as accurate as a high tech infrared or laser rangefinder.

The Bushnell Pinseeker Range Finder 1500 w/Slope measures distances instantly and accurately to within one yard. It emits invisible infrared energy pulses that reflect off of any target and are completely safe for the eye. The range is 5/1500 yards; 350 yards to the flag (it zeroes in on the flag within this distance). It’s completely waterproof and runs on a single 9 volt battery.
