Fairway Fridays: The key to distance control

Here it is folks…the long-awaited key to distance control. There are many ideas on how to hit your number, but one rule stands above them all: the first key to distance control is knowing your distance. This may seem obvious or elementary for some, but for those of you relying on yardage sprinklers and “feel,” you may be leaving a few birdies out there on the course.

Both smart golf watches and best-in-class rangefinders will do the trick, and believe us…we’ve vetted them all, and not all are created equal. You need accurate yardage readings, slope analysis, and ease of use to keep your mind on your game. This is where Bushnell’s V5 Shift Rangefinder and Garmin’s S62 Golf Watch have found their way to the top of the pack.
