After borrowing your playing partners Range Finder for the past seven Saturdays you realize it’s time you look into one for yourself. All your friends have them, they are beating you by a few shots every round (has to be because of the range finder right?), and its just time to invest.  The problem becomes, just like all things golf-related, there are so many choices.  There is a large range of pricing and features as well. Some things are going to matter for you and your game and others are not. Here are a few important factors that all golfers...

It’s great to watch the competition but let’s face it we are all hunting for the clues.  The one thing that can take your game to the next level. The things the pro’s do that the amateurs don’t.  As your handicap lowers you will find yourself learning more and more from the professionals, just by simply watching. Swing techniques, pre shot routines, equipment preferences, shot types are all part of those secret clues, the things that set the Professionals apart. If only...
