Yes, it happened. I bought a Bushnell Tour X laser distance measuring device.
As some of you may recall I have a Garmin Approach G6 GPS and love it. It’s very accurate, light and the list goes on.
But then fate intervened. My club has two x 18 hole courses. One of the courses has been affected by the loss of 4 holes 2 years ago due to land resumption for nearby road widening. The club has been operating two tees on that course as a stop gap.
The club is about to undergo a complete reconfigure of both courses over a two year period to get 2 x 18 holes back. The club plans to ensure that 3 x 9 holes are available during the reconfigure period.
The upshot for me? My Garmin GPS won’t be effective during the two year period of the reconfigure.
I don’t plan to get rid of my GPS at this stage. I’ll see how things go. But yes folks, I’ve entered the ranks of those annoying, sneering fvckers who claim that their laser is sooooo much better than “your” GPS.
