5.0 out of 5 stars
Great price and great product!, December 20, 2004
This is a beautifully constructed laser instrument for accurately measuring your distance to the pin or to any obstacle on the course.
It is easy to get a reliable and accurate measurement to any feature you see on the golf course, be it a tree, a lake, a sand-trap, or hopefully a pin. Obviously, you can't use such an item in a tournament or any competition, but for all other times when you are playing golf you will find this an invaluable tool.
No more driving around furtively looking for a yardage marker which, if it is there, is of questionable accuracy. When you get your Yardage Pro you'll find that many of the provided yardages are inaccurate!
I purchased one for my father for Christmas and liked it so much I bought another for myself. My dad, 83 years old, loves his and can operate it with ease. And if he, who is technologically challenged, can operate it, believe me you can too.
My father and I both love using this instrument and find it a lot of fun. It is not only useful on the golf course but there are innumerable applications that will only occur to you once you have it. I use my for sighting in my rifle and for all sorts of other things.
No downside to this product whatsoever. I heartily recommend it!

great distance control, March 7, 2006
Works better than I could have hoped. I have used it for about a month and it is very simple to execute -- but you have to be able to hold somewhat steady which is not a problem for me. If you are someone who has the shakes -- may be a problem.
I have compared the accuracy to gps devices with guys playing with me. This is better since it gives you the actual yardage to the pin. Also, you can get yardage to another golfer in the field, and yardage to any object, bunker, tree etc., which the gps can't.
A lot of courses are not marked correctly, and, of course, yardage changes depending on how far off to the side of the fairway -- or even out of the fairway -- you are. This is where it is especially nice. There are times when without this device you are just flat out guessing.
This is an awesome piece of technology. It was well worth the price for me.

Excellent for Golf, October 17, 2006
I've used this since 2001 and extensively in 2006 now that it's USGA legal. Not sure why others have having trouble holding this steady. Anything <200 yards I have no problem hitting the flag (you don't aim at the stick, you aim at the flag). Excellent for getting distances to bunkers, trees, and other hazards.
200 and over it is difficult for me to hit the flag, but all you have to do is wait for someone to pull or reinsert the pin, and you beam it off the player.
Inside 150 I've never had a problem getting the distance. I have learned to first laser an object behind the pin (such as a tree), then move up to the pin so I know for sure that I'm getting the flagstick and not the tree in the background.
My dad has the "Pinseeker" model and it IS quicker and easier to beam off a small object, but it's also a lot more expensive... and it's larger.
