What Is The Best Golf Range Finder/gps System To Buy?
I want to buy a golf yardage finder and want some opinions on which are the best? What makes them the best? What are the features? What is the price of each as well as any monthly or yearly fees?

I am going to disagree with everyone. Go rangefinder. Bushnell pin-seeker is the only one I have used.
Why:
1.Rangefinders will cost less money. No fees.
2.Rangefinders give you very accurate distance to the Pin. That’s really what you are after. Not distance to the back, front and middle.
3.You can also get distance to hazards, trees, and bunkers with a rangefinder.
4.More accurate yardages. GPS can be questionable, form distance
5.Most importantly, rangefinders give you the most accurate distance inside 100 yards!!! Tweeners are much easier with a rangefinder; GPS is useless with short game help.
I have played with both. Most experienced players have rangefinders, simply for the help with difficult distances, 30, 50, 75 yards.
***I almost forgot…one of the best reasons for a rangefinder over a GPS is getting accurate distances on the range.

SkyCaddie – If your golf course isn’t listed on SkyCaddie, have your golf pro call them and if he agrees to purchase 5 units for his shop, he will get his course shot for free. This will get your course listed as an official SkyCourse.
