Actually, I've never seen that happen. On a par 3, yes, it happens everytime. Today for example, the par 3 blue tees on the ground it said 138, my rangefinder indicated 145. With the wind in my face, for me that the difference between and 8 iron and a 7 iron. I think it's pretty important, but then again I like breaking 80 and I never did that before I owned a rangefinder.
