5 yards is a big difference in golf. Using GPS, you're location could be slightly off, the flag could be in the wrong position on the GPS, etc. A rangefinder you know is right.

I don't ever use GPS

If you have accurate GPS, I think it can be helpful. I need to stop going at pins and take the middle of the green yardage. I'm just not good enough to use the exact number, and it more than likely gets in my head.

I see your point. I guess I’m just not there yet where 5yds matters yet. Thanks for the feedback

The GPS does offer things a rangefinder can’t. It’s helpful if you’ve never played a course (hidden hazards, how much room around a dogleg, green depth, etc)
