Definitely NOT FOR GOLF 2008-05-02
This was on Dick's golf website. It's fine for large objects, but even at 50 feet it is extremely difficult to get a reading on a pin or flag. Too bad we didn't read the reviews first.

And as it was a Christmas gift in a northern climate, we didn't have a chance to test it until we went to Florida in late January when we immediately realized it would not work for golf. By then it was beyond Dick's 30-day return period and, even though we explained the delay in our using it, they would not take it back for an exchange on another brand or model.
Good at what it's made to do..... 2008-01-03
I don't understand people talking bad about this rangefinder who are using it for golf.

Do you use a fork to eat soup?

The difference between a hunting rangefinder and golfing rangefinder is a hunting is made to look for the farthest object instead of shrubs, trees, thicket that may be in the way of your target. (You are usually hunting in the woods and don't need the range for the closest tree)

Golfing rangefinders are programmed to find the distance of the closest object since objects shouldn't be obtructing your view of the tee.

This is a very simple to use rangefinder and great for hunting game.
**************
Only buttons are power/scan button and mode button.

Hold mode while finder is on to change between yards or meters.

Press the power button to turn on. Acquire your target and press again for reading or hold it to scan objects in the distance.

Unit powers down in 8 seconds if no action is taken.

*Pros
Simple
Accurate
WORKS

*Cons
Eye relief could be larger for those who wear glasses (if you don't...not a problem)

Conclusion: Great rangefinder at a great price (comes with nice belt carry bag too!) If you are looking for a golf rangefinder....look elsewhere because this is NOT one.
Works very well 2007-11-22
Easy to learn how to use it and convenient to carry. That was all that was needed.
Not for golf 2007-10-22
Seems like a nice enough unit. Compact in size, works great playing around in the backyard sighting relatively large objects. But once you get it on the golf course it's worthless for spotting pins (and my course has reflectors). I bought it based on the store person saying the golf and hunting technologies were identical, but in my experience this unit can't be used for golf.

For what it's worth I did find it hard to stabilize the crosshairs. It's not impossible to use but I could see someone who bought it for hunting being discouraged w/difficulty locking in on a target.
range finder 2007-08-23
Not to happy with product wanted it for golf to find the distance to the flag stick but this range finder can not pick out the stick and always picks up a bigger object behind the flag.the only way it works is if there are people on the green and then i can scope the person on the green and get my yardage.I would not have gotten it if i knew this would happen
