I use a bushnell tour v4.

The gps(satellite rangefinder) and bushnell(laser rangefinder)...they are both range finders. gps is great if you can not see the hazards in front of you. Lasers are great for pin pointing distances within a yard. Some gps devices give the carry distances over bunkers and water hazards...some do not. Lasers are great for both. The newer bushnell lasers work within a second or two. Lasers don't do great in heavy fog, just after sunset or heavy rain. gps sometimes get confused when two courses are close together.

If you aren't accurate within 5 yds or so with the high numbered clubs then the gps is fine. For those who really can hit a particular club a particular distance then lasers are the way to go.
