How to Get the Perfect Start to the New Golf Season

Here’s how to get the new golf season off to a perfect start. Did you know that simply using a golf rangefinder can save you an average of 3 strokes per round? That’s the finding of a study conducted in England (Read the study).

So you can significantly improve your handicap without any extra practice or changing your swing! The reasons are obvious. You’ve probably been there: Everything goes perfectly on the range. Even the practice swing before the shot feels good. But then it happens:

Starting point: A tense turn 🚫

You’ve probably been there—it happens several times a round: You’re facing a difficult approach shot to the green, and without a rangefinder, you can only roughly estimate the distance. Still, there’s a lingering sense of uncertainty—the shot has to be perfect. And sure enough, you tense up, and the result is an uncertain (bad) shot into the water, costing you a lot of points yet again. But there is a way you can minimize these bad shots:

The solution: Use a rangefinder

It sounds so simple, and it really is. Just using a golf rangefinder—whether it’s a laser or a watch—can have a huge positive impact on your game. Here’s how:

(1) The learning effect with your own swing lengths 💡

Over time, you simply get a better sense of your own shot distances. A golf laser is also ideal for practicing on the range. This is especially helpful when making difficult approach shots to the green.

(2) Choosing the right club before your shot ⛳️

No more guessing. It’s frustrating when you hit a good shot but the ball still lands short of the green. Thanks to the passive learning effect, you’ll significantly improve your club selection. You’ll know the average distance for each club and be better able to judge the wind. You’ll come up short or overshoot the green less often.

(3) You'll swing with more confidence 🏌️‍♀️

All of this also affects your swing. In addition to better shot preparation, you’ll eventually swing with more confidence and boldness, leading to better shots and better ball contact. No more tense swings on difficult shots caused by uncertainty and doubt!

Conclusion: How to get the perfect start to the new golf season

Let's set aside training and any swing adjustments for now. Those are obviously part of the process, but they take time, and the results aren't immediately visible. A rangefinder works instantly and improves your game. That's a proven fact.
