My golf game has long been marred by a few key issues: my long irons and my flaking. Last year, a different problem arose, although just as frustrating: my ability to retain my rangefinders.
It’s true, I am that guys. The one who constantly somehow leaves his rangefinder on the steel pole of the golf cart after the round is over. I lost a rangefinder doing this in 2024; whatever, I thought, I have backups at home. Well, this year has come, and I managed to leave somehow both of those who are behind, even if I play less golf than in years (and I don’t even take a cart full time!).
So instead of writing this post about a few items I fell in love with this year, like my colleagues didI edit it and highlight a few things that I love and then lost. The good news is that I love both of these rangefinders so much that I don’t have to waste time trying to figure out what to replace. I’ll just buy the same ones again. (Or one, and I just hope I don’t lose it; but apparently it’s good to have backups.)
Anyway, here are the two beloved rangefinders I had but lost; maybe you will like them too. Please take better care of them than me.

THE Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser is more expensive, so if you splurge on this one, please (and I mean please) try not to leave it behind. It has more bells and whistles than I was used to with previous rangefinders – even things like wind speed and direction when using the mobile app; although I’ve never used it much – and it has seven times the magnification. It’s also extremely accurate, which (you guessed it!) is an important feature for rangefinders.

What’s quite convenient for you, dear reader, is the fact that the two specific rangefinders I’m talking about are at two very different price points, so you can choose accordingly. Blue Tees Golf offers competitively priced rangefinders and this one does everything you need – including the handy pulse vibration when you lock on to the target – and won’t break the bank. This one, the Pro Blue Tees Golf Series 2 Slope Rangefinderis a great option.
If you are still looking, you can browse more rangefinders here.
And while I might be the worst person to give advice on this sort of thing, someone recently asked me to start putting my keys in my rangefinder case. This way, when you try to leave the course, you will quickly be reminded that your rangefinder may not be there. If you take nothing else from this article, maybe this little tip will help you too.
