Bushnell Medalist Range Finder,
I just purchased the Bushnell Medalist range finder a week ago. I did this after researching most of the popular golf GPS products and the
golf range finders.
Specifically, the Bushnell Medalist range finder is a “WINNER”. I
lowered my score right away. Not by hitting the ball better, but by avoiding the traps (I can measure where they are). I was aslo able to
pick the right club for the right distance.
I found the range finder to be very, very accurate. After a week
at my main course, and playing three other difficult golf courses,
I play with a new “Tiger” like confidence.
The summary follows:
Positive:
1) Accuracy
2) Small size ( you can mange with one hand, although you need two to
get a “steady” reading. The “Pinseeker” mode almost eliaintes this
issue though.
3) Cost (it is worth the value of $299)
4) Battery life (it has not blinked after a week of daily use) 9 volt
replaceable battery
5) Universal use (it works on ALL courses – no maps, PC, or SD memory
issues)
6) If you are in a scramble, guess who is the most popular player?
Negative:
1) The case is too flimsy. It loks good, but is not rugged enough.
Mine tore after 3 day. I bough a camera case for it that is much
more durable and is portable enght for both my portbale cart,a nd
a riding cart.
That’s it. if you are on the limb about what to buy. Buy a range finder. You’ll not regret it.

|Works like a charm!,
I was finally able to get out and field test my Bushnell Medalist Pinseeker while sneaking in 27 holes.
Long story short: It performed flawlessly.
Long story long…:
It instantly picked up all 18 weather beaten red winter flags from just about anywhere.
Example 1. I had 297 left into a par 5, it snagged the information instantaneously. I know my old 400 Bushnell was useless from that range.
Example 2. 189 yards left into a par 4, the red flag was limp and there was a hillside 28 yards behind the pin. Information was instantly “pinseeked”.
Example 3. 179 yard par 3, lots of “clutter” and trees behind the stick. Shoot, zip, got the number.
Of course all of the par 3′s and every approach flag was easily attainable. I also used the scan mode to shoot trap lips, dog legs, hazard boundaries and anything else I saw.
I don’t know if it’s been redesigned but, the battery door wasn’t even a consideration. I had read some others had an issue with the door coming off. I may put a small strip of gorilla tape over it, just in case.
If you’re on the fence about which Laser unit to buy, I absolutely recommend this one.

|Bushnell Medalist Pinseeker is awesome!,
I purchased the Bushnell Medalist Pinseeker and love it! It is nice and light, uses a single 9 volt battery, which is nice. No charger required so I will just keep a spare battery in my bag. So simple to use, press the power button center the circle on your target and press the button for a second and bam you have your yardage. I currently have a Sky Caddie 2.5 GPS rangefinder and had an earlier model before. The nice part about the Bushnell rangefinder is that you can target in anything on the course not just the yardages that Sky Caddie has entered, you don’t have to connect to a pc and download course info and of course there is no annual fee. If you don’t mind those things and like a small gps that you can wear on your belt get a Sky Caddie, if you do, get yourself a Bushnell Medalist!
