On a related topic, I prefer to use a laser rangefinder, but it has become a little more difficult and time consuming. All the Championship courses in the Village’s used to have prism type reflectors on the top of the flagsticks, which made it very easy and fast to acquire the exact yardage to the pin. A few years back all the reflectors suddenly disappeared. I have asked several golf employees why the reflectors were removed and nobody seems to know why. Does anyone know the actual real reason why? Removing the reflectors certainly isn’t consistent with keeping the pace of play moving along.
