The Leupold GX-1 is my best golf purchase of the year - worth about three strokes on an unfamiliar course, because it makes club/shot selection so accurate. It's light and compact so it hangs easily from one of the golfbag's carry straps. It is intuitive and easy to use - click once to turn it on and again when you're looking at your target, and it goes in and out of its provided case quickly and easily. I occasionally get a questionable reading, but "scan" mode quickly separates the pin from the background. It's much easier to use and read than the comparable Bushnell, no easier than the comparable Nikon/Callaway but much smaller and lighter.Leupold GX-I Digital Golf Rangefinder
