Actually, all the Championship courses have reflectors imbedded into the top of the flagsticks which makes it very quick and easy to shot the yardage to the pin with a laser. It doesn’t take any longer to shot the yardage than it would to look at an app on your phone or a gps devise. And some greens are so big that the difference between a front and back pin placement can be two clubs. I will always use a rangefinder, just personal preference I guess. Regardless of how one determines the yardage, it still requires putting the right swing on the ball. Golf on !
