I carry a range finder just in case i need it. . I constantly practice estimating distances without any devices within 200 yards as long as I can see yardage markers. I find after playing the same course 4-5 times, I don't need to rely on technology to estimate distances for club selections. .
its a detail vs accuracy issue. .
more detail doesn't result in better accuracy. .
proper club selection and more consistent swings/contact creates better accuracy
temperature messes the most with my distances. . both with swing muscle tightness and ball flex. . hate the clank of New England golf in the early spring (late winter in reality) . . . and then drive to TV and hit 10-30 yards longer in 90 degrees
and the pros make it look too easy on tv, same with all pros versus amateurs. . .
