Actually, they are very reliable, especially compared to using fairway yardage markers and/or colored flags...or sharpie marked numbers on the scorecard.

But even if you get one that's off by a couple of yards, it's not like anyone short of a professional...would ever even notice.

If a golfer doesn't have a general idea of how far they 'average' with each club...then they're wasting their time anyway.

I mean cripes, why do you think a player chooses a particular club, for a particular shot...in the first place?
