why can't this be used on a golf course?

if there is an item ( my case a deer or a target ) it is very accurate but a friend was looking for a distance to a spot in a field and it had nothing to bounce the signal off so it wouldn't work. the item has to be vertical and substancial.

it doesn't pick up the flag very good at all you need one that made for golf

I sold mine for $50 and got a more expensive one that works much better. The guy I sold it to uses it to measure to bunkers and trees but not pins. My Bushnell Tour V3 is fast, accurate and easy to use. The 850 is not.

Technically yes. I wouldn't leave it outside or it will get ruined. But if you read the other things I've written about this, you'll see you shouldn't waste your money on it at all. It's terrible, I threw mine away. It's awful and doesn't help you learn or practice putting.

If you had real level ground you possibly could use it outside, but the way the legs are made you could only use on level ground.

I think you can use it outdoors. I wouldn't leave it or store it outdoors but it could be used that way. It probably wouldn't be great on grass but uneven ground you may notice it's uneven but the padding will help.

It is adjustable You can make it vertical or at and angle on a golf cart. But you have to put it on a horizontal surface like on a golf cart handle.

It is heavy enough to use on a concrete driveway and stay in place unless you really hit down hard on it. But it would do the same on grass. It should protect your clubs but might be a little hard on your hands, again if you strike down too hard. It really is forgiving for the most part.

I don't see why not. It would be covered by sunbrella or other material that was for the outdoor area...it is an insert...not to be used by itself.

Yes I use it for golf also, only problem is you have to have a very steady hand if you try to point it at the flag,,almost impossible. I target the ground right in front of the pin and that works fine. I love this Rangefinder

That's not what I use the vise for, it seems the amount of pressure needed to regrip a golf club may outside the realm of this tool.

Water would ruin it. Also it's very small. There's got to be a better target out there.

I believe I understand what you're asking, and I'm going to say no. You could of course "attach" it to a vertical surface, but it wouldn't be able to swing completely. It would hit it's own base on every swing. Also, it would defeat the ball bearing design which is why it costs a little more than most.

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.

Hi Nick, I wish I had an answer for you. I bought it for my husband as a gift so I don't use it. My husband wasn't sure of the answer either as that is not how he uses it. He is happy with it though. The only complaint is he says he can't use it on all courses...sorry I am not much of a help.

I don't see why it couldn't be used outdoors, although a dogs natural instinct would lead it to the grass. But this product seems to be made of weather resistant materials

Yes, it could function as a golf umbrella, but it would be on the smaller size of the spectrum.

No, to my knowledge it does not give distance to hazards. Nor does it give layout of each hole, but it does give distance to front, middle and back of green for every shot, to all courses I've played so far.

No it won't work unless you have an extended top on the golf cart. That is the ONLY way it will work. I tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING worked.
