I have played a lot of golf with the Skycaddies (various versions and over 300 rounds) and became a convert to the Bushnell laser rangefinder a couple of months ago. I was concerned with being able to read the display numbers since I now need reading glasses for nearly everything. The display is easy to read (without glasses) and it picks up the flag very well. Also - no downloading courses, no annual fees, no battery charger (I always carry an extra battery with the range finder), no searching for satellites (always a problem on cloudy days), and no descrepancies on yardages between similar devices (it happens quite often). The only negative with the laser range finders is if you don't have a clear view of the flagstick (hills, etc.) However, Florida is a pretty flat state so it shouldn't be a problem on TV courses. I agree with one of the other posters - try them all out and pick what works best for you. For the individual who sees no use for them, they do speed up play on all courses since there is no need to "walk off" the yardage from the fairways!!
