Bushnell Tour V2 Laser Rangefinder versus SkyCaddie SG5
Jul 8th, 2009 by hole high
I went and purchased a SkyCaddie SG5 a couple of months ago and have been blown away by their ease of use and how they knocked a few shots of my round. So anyway I was now curious to see how they fared up against a dedicated Laser Rangefinder. Well I managed to blag a Bushnell Tour V2 last week and tried it out over a couple rounds to see how it fared.
I must admit the Bushnell Rangefinder is a must for anyone serious about their golf. The accuracy is brilliant when measuring the distance to the flag. Bushnell claim =/- 1 yard accuracy upto 1000 yards and I would say that are not far out with claim. The unit itself is not that unwieldy but needs a bit of time to get used to it. The Busnell Tour V2 is legal in comps providing the old committee have passed the required local rule.
In conclusion if you just want a yardage to the front, back or centre of the green then go with the SkyCaddie as they are so quick and simple to use. If you want exact yardages and are that competent that you can play to them, then the Bushnell Tour V2 Golf Rangefinder could be a better investment.

Both rangefinders are better than the one I bought, the Bushnell Pro Sport 450. I wish I bought one of these.
I bought Bushell before.. What’s wrong with that?
I really want to try the skycaddie, all I have is your word on its capability. I need to try it first hand =]
Do you think the prices will start dropping soon? Get in touch as I also have some golf videos which I was wondering if you would be interested in adding to your site.
I must admit, judging distance has always been the weak point of my game and have been thinking of trying one of these types of aides. Its a fair few pennies though for a hobby golfer, maybe time to start my xmas list up again
Im really want to try it.interesting…
