I am a 7 handicap golfer from Baton Rouge Louisiana.This range finder is for the passionate few who demand perfection at every teebox, fairway or bunker. Reducing strokes every round played, with accuracy to plus or minus 1 yard from 10 to 1,000 yards away, the guesswork of club selection is eliminated. Its so effective at improving your game you may find yourself golfing alone. The range finder picks up sand bunkers very well but not all flag positions, unless they have special reflective tape applied. Trees are easy to read. To get a good read you have to aim it at a hill or mostly any vertical surface. It does not pick up horizontal surfaces very well over 100 yds. away. You don't have to look for yardage markers, the range finder is very helpful, saves a lot of time, and really worth the money. If you hold the range button down it goes into a scan mode that continuously reads all surfaces it can pick up. "The only real problem is your buddies asking you to check yardage for them." Keep in mind the 20-2001 model is for hunters and the 20-2002 is for golfers.    Randall
