How good do you have to be to buy/use a rangefinder on the disc golf course?


ree

Plenty of casual (ball) golfers get rangefinders either on their own or as gifts, but the technology has just begin to become common in disc golf. Plenty of pros, I'd guess almost all of the Pro Tour in 2021, have been using them and all disc golfers have seen ads in one way or another for Bushnell rangefinders at some point. But the real question is... how good do you have to be to cancel out the assholishness of using a rangefinder during a round of disc golf?


Listen, I get why the pros are using them. They learn everything their discs can do, what distances they fly, and the angles they throw them on. Their money literally depends on their ability to throw plastic consistently, so honestly I'm surprised it's taken them this long to start using rangefinders.


But I guarantee a bunch of casual/wannabe disc golfers (the category I would put myself and 90% of the DG community in) got rangefinders in the last year, maybe even recently for Christmas. These people are assholes. If I ever got to a course to play with my buddies and one of them pulled out a rangefinder I would never let them hear the end of it. I would argue that even in a local tournament, or anything lower than an A-Tier, you shouldn't be using a rangefinder. That is a level of hardo that does not belong in disc golf.


If you are a rangefinder user, and not one of the top 100 disc golfers in the world, see what kind of shape your device is in and try to get your money back.
