How to use the Bushnell Medalist Laser Range Finder
Here’s how it works at first with a golf range finder like the Bushnell Medalist. Golf is a game of inches that is coincidentally measured in yards. Every time people watch professional golfers hit their approach shot, they wonder how they get the ball so close to the green. Sure, practicing all day, several days a week has a lot to do with it.
However, the real reason they are so accurate is their caddy walks all over the course to inform them on different distances. The caddy will know exactly how far it is to carry a certain bunker and what distance it is to the front, middle and back of the green. All the professional has to do from that point is pick the club that goes the proper distance and make good contact. Amateurs can actually use golf range finders, which will essentially give them the same advantage. In fact, amateurs will actually have a better advantage than professionals, as professionals are not allowed to use golf range finders during their tournaments.
The Medalist Range Finder is one of the most popular devices used by golfers. The device is very simple to use, as it is essentially a pair of binoculars with a laser that calculates distances. When they approach the tee box, they will find a display that shows yardages to the green from each tee. This is good on those short par 3′s, where the golfer knows they always get it right on the green with the short iron. However, the yardages become more and more useless as the holes become longer.
Now, golfers need to use the Bushnell Medalist rangefinder to calculate how far it is to where they would normally drive the ball. They will simply look through the viewer and point the laser feature at the desired target. Once they lock in the target, the range finder will give them a precise number. Now, they can refer back to the display on the tee box and subtract the target number from the green distance. This will allow them to plan out their second shot before they even hit the drive. Most people tend to simply swing the driver as hard as possible and then they guess how far they have left for the second and third shots.
With the Bushnell Medalist rangefinder, golfers will find the scan mode and PinSeeker technology to be an even bigger advantage. With scan mode, the finder will automatically update distances, while PinSeeker technology makes it easy to find the pin every time.
