If there's a 150 mark, and you can't tell how far you are from that, what good is a rangefinder going to do you?

The point is, if you can't instinctively tell how far your ball is from the 150 mark, what good is a rangefinder going to do for you? "I can't tell if my ball is at 140, or 135, but give me a rangefinder, and I'll nail that sucker, bro."

I pair a GPS watch with a laser. I love it. Makes me so happy.To each his own. I like having a GPS and/or a rangefinder handy. I find it helps speed up the game so you don't see people walking off how far they are from a yardage marker. Quick look, get your number and go.
I think it's handy to learn to play without, especially if the flags are front center back colored. There's something to be said for going old school once in a while. You'd be surprised how little it hurts you. All that said, I do like using GPS, not sure I need to be to the yard exact, but knowing distance to front center and back of green is very helpful.
And yes I have been playing for 33 years and just started using GPS a couple years ago and even then not always.
This is a completely honest question: have you been playing golf for a long time, like >30 years or so? I feel like those that learned how to play in the times before rangefinders or other devices were commonplace are pretty good at eyeballing distances and picking clubs. A person like myself, who is newer to the game (started playing in 1998) wants the technological aids to determine distances.
And what's up with these fancy motorized carriages people are using to get to the golf course. Why they just ride a horse like a normal person.25 years, with a nine year hiatus. I don't understand how they're legal. Were it up to me, it would be half as many clubs and no markers. Bah, humbug!1
