Fore! Where's that cup in relation to your pin? How far do you need to drive the golf ball? The secret to a good round of golf is making accurate shots. That isn't very easy when the pin is competing with the trees around it for your rangefinder's attention. The Bushnell 20-5103 Yardage Pro Gold Pinseeker 1500 has a powerful 7x magnification monocular with bright 26mm objective for viewing your target. Optics are fully multi-coated, allowing maximum light transmission for optimum brightness, superb resolution, and contrast for a clear vivid image even in low-light conditions such as dusk or dawn. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and, when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards and meters, and Mode indicators. Unit Dimensions - 1.7 by 5.1 by 3.7 inches, 10 ounces Includes battery, case, strap

Summary: Bushnell fulfills promise
Comment: Golfers depend on accurate yardage to determine both club and shot shape. This Bushnell 1500 range finder with slope gives you fast and accurate information. I've used this at my home club and determined that the yardage markers and GAM markers are good indicators of "the middle of the green" but can be off as much as 10 -15 yards depending on the flag location.
I like the slope indicator and found that what I would estimate as a full club or more is often only a half club. The use of the rangefinder has improved my GIR with first use. This is easy and fast to use once you get used to it. It is especially fast if your cart partner assists with the rangefinding as you prepare for the shot.

Summary: not tourney legal plus just what is the average trajectory?
Comment: I am a near scratch golfer and have been playing golf for over 40 years. I recently bought the Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker with Slope. The technology behind this product is impressive but there are two points I'd like to make here.
After trying out the product this is my understanding on how the slope is calculated. The plus or minus yardage from the actual yardage is determined through some algebraic formula based on the actual yardage, the relative level you are to the target, and the trajectory on an average ball flight from that distance. Huh? Ok, what is the average trajectory of 120 yards or 210 yards for a shot? One person may hit a five iron from 150 yards and another may swing a wedge. Two different flight patterns from the same distance. I am a longer than average player to begin with. I hit a very high trajectory for most of my shots, including long irons, even when compared with players who are as long as I am. So not knowing what formula this is based on and what average trajectory, it still remains a guessing game (as to plus or minus yardage) and therefore defeats the purpose on principle. In my opinion it's a good gimmick but that's all.
Secondly, (and this is trump card for me) I was under the false impression that I could just "turn off" the slope feature during amateur tournament play thereby making the device legal. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In every aspect of golf the honor system applies but in this particular area the U.S.G.A. apparently doesn't trust you. The Pinseeker with Slope is illegal to use whether the slope feature is activated or not. Again, you cannot just turn this feature off and be in compliance.
So, If I could to do it all over again I would save the $50 and get the Pinseeker without the slope. Knowing the actual yardage is a great tool and I highly recommend the Pinseeker as it will improve your game but leave the slope.

Summary: Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 rangefinder w/slope feedback
Comment: Great product. Looks solid. Easy to use. Quick to get yardage. Took less than 5secs to usually obtain a yardage even if you have shaky hands. Battery life is great. I've used this for 8 rounds already, and haven't replaced the battery.
Cons: A little expensive.

Summary: loving it
Comment: Great when it is not windy. I like the fact that you can get yardage to the flag as opposed to just the middle or front of green with gps type devices. May be nice to have both gps and this for the complete experience.:)

Summary: A great invention!
Comment: What club to use? Often it is difficult to determine the distance to the pin due to many variables such as course markings (or lack thereof), optical illusions, etc. Now I just take a look with this rangefinder and all the guesswork is gone. It is very easy to use and seems to be very accurate. I love this thing!
