There is a long thread on this somewhere... this will most likely be moved when a mod sees it.
Long story short, I use both. GPS for a quick distance to the green, rangefinder for trees, bunkers, exact to the pic, and for tournaments.
There really is no true way to determine which is "better." One is better for some while the other is better for some. The Bushnell hybrid is a great option if you want both in one compact device. I think the GPS is a little more convenient and the top tier ones give loads of measurements and have loads of other cool features. But I would not say better. They are both great for speeding up slow play
thanks for the info, i was just wondering, my GPS works great and is pretty on point, plus i like the gps option that marks my ball and gives me my distance on each shot, i just figured i would get better info here than any other place, before i thought about purchasing a rangefinder, thanks Ice
A range finder first without a doubt. I have had one since they first came out. The only thing you can't measure is how far it is to cut off the corner of the dogleg. Apart from that you can measure to anything you can see on the course.
Spend some $$ though and get one that has a continuous scan feature. Works better than point and click point and click on each object.
I use a GPS....I was about to buy a range finder....a buddy had one he was selling and I carried it for several weeks, but I found that I used the GPS 80-85% of the time....I could glance at it and get 4 or 5 yardages at once....left bunker front, left bunker carry, water carry, 150 yard layup 100 yard layup
All at the same time....got a blind shot? wanna know what's over the hill...look at the GPS
I hear the exact yardage to the pin argument...but my Callaway UPro has the touch screen where I can touch and drag to anywhere and get a yardage...so the pin is in the back right corner...okay touch and drag....I promise I will be within a yard or 2 of the laser and its alot easier and it keeps my score, my stats and everything.
Find me a rangefinder that does that.
