Advice on Buying a Laser Rangefinder

Now that the days are ticking down towards Christmas and we are running out of shopping time, you may be having a hard time finding the right present for that hard to buy for someone in your life. If this person happens to be either a hunter or a golfer, then we have some good news, we might be able to help.

One of the most difficult things about shopping for an enthusiast of any kind is that they tend to be particular about their choice in gear and if they are like most, they probably have already purchased what they really want anyways. There are certain items though, that they might not be willing to spend the money for as they do not deem it as necessary to their sport. It would be nice to have, but not necessary.

I recently had my wife purchase a laser rangefinder for me to use on the golf course. I have always admired the rangefinders I have seen on the course or the golf GPS units but I was never willing to part with the money to buy one, but I was ecstatic that she bought one for me. Your situation might be exactly the same, so if you are interested then keep reading.

Buying something like a laser rangefinder can be kind of intimidating. These aren’t typically items that most people know a lot about and that can be frustrating when you try to make sure you buy the right one. Based on our experience, we recommend you research the item online and find the one you really like. Once you have located it you can buy it locally or we would recommend Amazon. The selection and the price of Amazon is hard to beat.

A few minutes reading the various rangefinder reviews online will turn you from an amateur to a very educated consumer. Once you’ve read what more experienced buyers of these units like and dislike about each unit, then you can make a very educated purchase decision.

My wife bought my rangefinder for my birthday and I was so glad she did. I always thought it was an unnecessary luxury but after the very first round of golf I was ecstatic with this new toy. It saved me a lot of fatigue running around finding markers and figuring the distance to the pin. It was a cool toy too but I am glad she bought me one. It’s an item that I would not have purchased for myself.

So do your research, study up on the product, find the right rangefinder for your own situation and then make a good purchase that saves you money and is a good value. That sounds like good advice to me.

Looking to find the best deal on laser rangefinders, then visit Jack Duncan’s site and find a great deal on a quality rangefinder, the Bushnell Scout Rangefinder. Great choice.

Gain Some Distance with Modern Drivers

As the golf game evolves, so do golf club manufacturers. These days, there are so many different companies making clubs and they all make many different models. How are people supposed to find the right ones?

So many different companies with so much technology. Continue reading for more popular club manufacturers.

Cobra Golf’s latest high end driver is the L5V with a street price of $400. It uses a carbon composite and have adjustments to change the angle of the face by 1 degree if desired.

Adams Golf sponsors Tom Watson and is known with its amazing hybrid technology. The Adams Speedline though is its great new driver that has captured the hearts of many, including the Hot List 2009 as it won gold. The rounded sole takes getting used to because it might rock back and forth at address off the tee but once you get used to it, expect to hit it looooong.

Callaway Golf is really pushing the envelope with its high end drivers (all its 2009 models are over $350 a piece). They made two drivers. One with a more traditional shape (FT-9) and one a square shape (FT-IQ). Both are amazingly long and Phil is already using the FT-9. He’s not trying crazy things like two drivers though anymore but who knows as he might use the drivers to chip.

When the world’s most dominant player plays those clubs, who doesn’t want to own them? Tiger Woods plays Nike’s equipment, and so should you. Tiger personally designed some of the club and balls characteristics for use.

Lynx is a smaller component player and this choice will make perfect sense if price is a concern. However, coupled with a great shaft, it will still perform.

Adams may be the pioneer in hybrids but their marketing is totally taken over by the other major brands. I have no idea what fairway woods they make so I naturally think they aren’t that great.

Golf clubs are the key to your golf success. A perfectly fit and nice looking driver is even better. To know what pros play, check out What’s in the Golf Bag of Kenny Perry.

New Drivers Increases Your Yardage

Golf club submissions were 2,500 in 2008 (as opposed to 500 a year in the 1990s). There are so many clubs these days that it’s very hard for someone to find the right golf clubs.

Every company has their own technology which is different than others. Read more to find out about the popular club manufacturers.

Callaway Golf almost stands for forgiveness. They also pioneered the uniflex shaft used in its irons. The Callaway FT-IQ is its latest square shaped driver. If you can get pass the sound that it makes (and the shape), you will bomb it. The driver is amazingly straight even though your golf buddies might make fun of you for cheating.

Nike Golf catapulted into the golf scene with the endorsement of Tiger Woods. I’m sure they are hard at work and Tiger must love being able to test all the different options and help them in designing the golf clubs to golf balls.

Equipment may not eliminate errors but it can certainly help your game become better. Tour pros know this and use only the best equipment that fits their golf game. Check out the bag of Padraig Harrington now for the latest equipment news.

Ladies Golf Apparel and Fashion

I was reading one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ magazines the other day and started wondering where the women live, who wear the golf attire modeled in women’s golfing magazines? I’ve never seen women, not even the professionals, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothing.

It’s so simple to spend tons of money kitting yourself out for the sport of golf. Think about hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windsheeters and shoes, and it is obvious that the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at cheap online sales. Then you have to factor in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play a round of golf really quite frequently to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to a tolerable level.

One half-page glossy advertisement showed a beautiful young ‘golfing lady’ in really tiny hot-pants (like that’s permitted on golfing greens!) that cost nearly $300, a golf shirt at almost $600, a jacket by Ralph Lauren at almost $200 and two-toned Utuser shoes costing $400 plus.

That comes to almost $1,500! I know that I could never hope to get the CPU on that outfit down to anywhere near an acceptable level in my lifetime! Don’t get me wrong – I love clothes and I really love shoes, but could never afford, or even want, golf shoes or pants that cost more than most people’s weekly wage.

Granted, you want comfortable golf shoes that don’t look like something your grandmother would have worn, but you can easily find less expensive and still fashionable shoes.

I have several really trendy golf outfits, although none of them are brand names. If I totalled up the cost of all of them, it would not come to the price of a Tse golf shirt. Personally, I’d rather have several stylish outfits than one outrageously priced one.

If I were to wear a $1,500 set of golfing attire to play golf in, I would just be too worried about getting it grubby or perspiring in it to enjoy a proper round of golf.

Bomb Those Drives with New Drivers

Golf club submissions were 2,500 in 2008 (as opposed to 500 a year in the 1990s). There are so many clubs these days that it’s very hard for someone to find the right golf clubs.

Every company has their own technology which is different than others. Read more to find out about the popular club manufacturers.

Cobra Golf has Camilo Villegas as their sponsor who is playing so well. The most expensive driver they carry is the Cobra L5V which promises maximum face area for its look.

Adams Golf makes hybrids that many Champion’s Tour players play but they also began making drivers. The Insight Tech A4 is their new high end driver and the sound and feel are fabulous. It is also one of the longest driver out there and the ball just flies off the club face.

Callaway Golf almost stands for forgiveness. They also pioneered the uniflex shaft used in its irons. The Callaway FT-IQ is its latest square shaped driver. If you can get pass the sound that it makes (and the shape), you will bomb it. The driver is amazingly straight even though your golf buddies might make fun of you for cheating.

Nike Golf has steadily made it into one of the most popular golf manufacturers by signing up Tiger Woods, Anthony Kim and others. In fact, Nike sponsored many of the top golfers in the world and has many amazing drivers.

Lynx mainly sells through Golfsmith and it’s not a bad brand. I’m not too familiar with them though so your mileage may vary. However, it will probably be pretty consistent if you couple it with a good shaft.
