Forget complicated and time-consuming swing adjustments. A study from England has shown that using a rangefinder saves an average of 2.7 strokes per round. We’ll explain how it works and why that’s the case.
Reason 1: Better planning before the shot
The first reason is better shot planning. You take more time and think carefully about which club to use. My own experience confirms this. We’ve all been there: You hit a good shot toward the flag, just as you imagined it. But then the ball misses the green—it’s too short or too long—because you misjudged the distance. That’s very frustrating, unnecessary, and above all, it costs strokes. The ball ends up in a bunker, in water, or in tall grass. Compared to hitting the green, that can quickly add two or three extra strokes. On the Tour, you can clearly see how much time the pros take to prepare for their next shot. They discuss it with their caddie, figuring out the right distance. And they know what they’re doing. You might think it should go much faster. But this shows just how important good shot preparation is. It saves strokes!
Reason 2: Building self-confidence
The second reason is the learning effect. When using a rangefinder, you quickly learn your actual distances—and with a high degree of accuracy for every club. Carry distances are particularly important for shots onto the green. Once you know the distances for each club, you’ll swing with more confidence and, as a result, be more successful. Everyone knows the feeling: on a difficult tee shot on a par 3 surrounded by water, doubts creep in and your swing becomes uncertain. You really just want to nudge the ball over the water. But that usually goes wrong. With a rangefinder, you now know that with a good shot, the ball will travel the right distance and land on the green. That helps enormously and boosts your confidence. You swing with more confidence and can focus more on the direction.
Conclusion
Wer ambitioniert golft, der kommt eigentlich nicht um einen Golf-Distanzmesser herum. Man merkt schnell, wie wertvoll er ist. Flightpartner, die keinen haben, wollen immer die Entfernung wissen. Ob es jetzt eine GPS Golfuhr ist oder ein Golflaser sein soll, ist erstmal nicht so wichtig. Beide Geräte liefern die Entfernung zur Fahne oder Hindernis, das ist wichtig. Nach einer Weile setzt der Lerneffekt ein und das Selbstbewusstsein wächst. Wir haben schon einen Artikel verfasst, welche Vor- und Nachteile Golfuhren und Golflaser haben.
