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
I will get a skidaddie I think although your post is opening other possibilities! thanks for giving your views!

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I have a Calloway rangefinder (rebadged Nikon) plus a Skycaddie SG5 and use them both - horses for courses.
The Skycaddie is particularly useful when you don’t know the course - showing you hole layout, hazards etc (as long as you remember to download the course!). Or when you just want a general distance (285 yards left to the centre of the green, no ‘hidden’ obstacles, I need a 175 yard club to leave me a pitching wedge.
The Calloway Rangefinder is perfect to tell me whether the pin is 90, 100, 110 yards away (can mean the difference between 1 or 2 putts - or sometimes 3 !).
I have both and love them. If I could only have one I’d go for the range finder and, for a new course, a course guide.
I might properly advise you to arrive up with net web site posts all the more usually. By doing this, getting this kind of the worthy internet web page I think about you may almost certainly rank larger inside the look-up engines.you’ve obtained very amazing stuffs right here.
