Has anyone used this for golf?

Yes, I bought it for my boyfriend because the one he had was stolen. He uses it, and he says it works great. The numbers are very clear and larger than his other rangefinder he had. He likes it a lot, and he's very particular.

I use this solely for golf and for the price it works well. It does not take into account elevation change and after 200 yards it gets a little tricky hitting the pin (if you can consistently hit the pin from 200+ with your shot you could probably land a sponsor and get a free rangefinder). If I cannot hit the pin with this I usually use a bunker or back edge to get within 10/15 yards.

I had no issues. My clubs were in my golf bag and I use bubble wrap as a buffer between the exposed shafts. There is an external strap which tightens to immobilize any club movement.

My father has use it outside on the green (he loves golf)and it is working well, also the small O2 fits in the seat

I wasn't aware it was discontinued. My husband and I use it every time we can. We haven't had any problems and find it very resourseful when golfing courses we are not familiar with. No complaints here.

It should hold up well. I haven't had any problems. I've used every club with it.

I didn't have a chance to use it much. I lost it last year in my first round playing with it. Seems standard enough and works for most shots around the green.

This particular rangefinder is for hunting. That's all I have used it for. Haven't used it on a golf course.

I think you have to charge each time you use for golf. But I have never thought that I had a problem with it holding a charge. I also have some other friends who use the Garmin and they do the same thing. Charge it before each time you use it for a golf game and it works great.

I wear it when playing golf. It never got too hot or sweaty while playing ( about 3 hrs on). But we did have a cool summer. As far as sleeping with it on, I do not think it is a good idea. Too long a time to have it on. I wear it only when I do an activity that hurts my elbow.

I think the net is way too light weight for that. After about 1,000 regular golf balls, the webbing started to fray and let balls through, so now I have a canvas target hung from the net to catch the balls. I wouldn't do that mod for baseballs, though, because I think it would still tear the net.

I live in Orlando and this has been in my golf bag for years. It works great, and I use it year-round to keep my hands from slipping on the grip.

I am not a golfer and use mine primarily for bow hunting as well as some long ranging hunting applications and it has served me well. The elevation (True Distance) has worked quite well for me but that is bow hunting at 20-30 yards tops. I would think it would work OK for golf as well. It may be a tad harder to lock into the target on long distance on real bright, clear, sunny days; however, it is much more affordable than most and I would reccomend givin' it a try with golfing. I am happy with mine but is for a different use.

Its probably usable, but I returned it and bought one which was specifically for golf. I don't have the model of what I exchanged it for but it was $200 and specifically for golf

I have only used this item for golf which it excels for. Hunting is another story. One thing that I have noticed regarding the Tour Z6 is that is does not work great in low light situations and also directly into bright sunlight.

I use mine for hunting and shooting. I've never played golf. It will work, however, as long as you have an object large enough to reflect the beam adequately, and to be sure that you're reflecting the object you're sighting on. It will accurately range a smallbore rifle target to at least 200 yards. It will range a stop sign accurately at 500 yards. I'm not sure how a golf flag compares to either of those objects. I've never needed the elevation correction, since most my shorts are not long enough for it to matter.

One more thing - a golf GPS? Have you gotten lost playing golf? Not a golfer, but sounds dangerous!! :-)

Its for hunting so don't know if would work on golf course or not. I know in my search for this one I saw a few that were made for golf. Good luck
