I have seen several people criticize people for using their range finder on short game shots. I know this is probably in response to slow play or whatever, but the partial game thread made me think about this. The short game is about the only part of the game that I use my zapper. I really don't understand why everyone doesn't do this. Knowing whether a shot is 35 or 45 is a big deal when I am swinging my 54* club that goes 90 yards on a full swing. It's certainly a much bigger deal than hitting into a green that I know is 150 to center away and zapping the pin to find out if it is 155 or 145. In that scenario I am just full swinging a 7 iron on either distance. I can use my GPS for that. I guess what I am saying is if you need the precision of a range finder from 150ish away, why in the world would you not need that kind of precision when your 40 yards out?
