For most golfers rangefinders are not needed. They are just fun, a little foreplay before their missed shot. Golfers love technology for what it does but very rarely for them.

The shot is 145, they top it, the shot is 80 they chunk it, the shot is 40 they skull it over the green. BUT, they knew their distance.

if you got no swing mechanics, then just have fun with the foreplay. Some want to know details and others want to perform, it's a choice .
