Are you looking for ways to improve your golf game? If you want to hit the ball more accurately, consider investing in the today’s top golf accessory – the rangefinder. Waikoloa Village Golf Club, the Big Island’s most scenic golf course, says this distance measuring device can help take your golf came to new levels, easily improving your shot accuracy.

The rangefinder is a golf accessory many amateur and professional golfers use to determine exactly how far they are from the hole. By determining your exact distance apart, it can also help you choose which club is the best to use for each hit you take. Additionally, rangefinders can also calculate your distance from other objects on the golf course, like trees.

Golf rangefinders are available in two types, laser and GPS. GPS rangefinders prove to be very accurate and can precisely measure your distance from the hole and other specified points on the golf course, even ones that are out-of-sight. However, to use a GPS rangefinder, the course you are golfing on must be mapped. Sometimes this requires a monthly subscription or fee to gain access to.

By pointing the rangefinder at a given object and pulling the trigger, a laser beam will display, measuring how far away the targeted object is. Laser rangefinders can take slightly longer to get a distance reading than GPS rangefinders do; however, they are very simple to use.

Most golf accessory stores carry a range of options when it comes to rangefinders, including GPS ones that you can use with your smartphone. This usually requires a software or app download, and your phone must have GPS capabilities. These smartphone rangefinders are becoming increasingly popular among golfers, as they are not just affordable, but convenient and don’t require packing extra gear along.
