How to choose the best golf rangefinder?

  Hey guys!

   

  I’ve occasionally had the opportunity of playing golf and always had amazing, memorable experiences.

   

  Decided to pick it up as a serious hobby now but I don’t really know much about it.

  I decided I am going to get myself a golf rangefinder but not sure witch one to pick.

  Saw some great options compared on this site and am leaning towards the Bushnell Tour V3: http://hitgolfing.com/best-golf-rangefinder/

  I’ve set myself a budget of $250 for the golf rangefinder – what do you guys recommend?

   

  Thanks ahead for all the help!

  You don't need a rangefinder here James. It's always top right of screen. If you can believe it.

  What's with the two ID's James? Clicking on James Nopmu brings up James Nelson. Friend of yours?

  I bought my son and playing partner one of these for Christmas last year and I say run right out and get it. It was really worth it. I was skeptical at first but 2 holes into the first round that was gone. Extremely easy to use and accurate. We were playing a course that had GPS in the cart and verifying the accuracy was a snap. Highly recommend it.  :-)

   

  @Phil-Huh? Try again because there's nothing fishy going on when I click his name. That other name doesn't even show up in a search.

  Joins yesterday, plays nothing and posts whet some may see as an advertisement for a range finder.

  Advertisers have strange ways of doing just that, promote through your sub conscious.

  Think i will leave best golf rangefinder . piss  slash

  Could be wrong and apologies in advance if so

  Looks like a wgt programming error. There will be a few existing members already with names beginning with JamesNelson.

  When the above happens wgt will assign a different username to allow their own database to distinguish this particular JamesNelson from others.

  The error looks to me to have been that the 'database' Nelson (JamesNopmu) has been used for display purposes instead of the original 'human friendly' ID (JamesNelson1) and that's the reason for it showing up on this particular member's profile page activity.

  Update: I'm thinking the error has been rectified since the player initially signed up.
