Range finder or golf app

[jvia]

Which do you guys use? A range finder or a golf app on your phone for the most accurate distances on the course. I recently played a round and my golfpad app was differing from the markers on the course which made me think about an actual range finder.

I have a range finder but do not use it much. If I do it is mostly on par 3. I rely mostly on app as I do not "pin chase", I just like knowing, front, middle, back of green distances from my app and that works for me.

Most carts have GPS now so I'll usually use that off the tee to kinda get an idea of line/carry off the tee, but if I had to use a rangefinder I would and do. But for the most part I use a rangefinder for everything else cause I can just shoot what I want in like 30 sec.

I no longer use my range finder on the course and use a golf app on my watch instead. Now I only use my range finder to measure flags on the driving range.

I tend to just use my watch for front/ middle/ back. I want to say I've shot better or at least for consistent then when I used my rangefinder, since I'm more likely playing to a safer distance

Range finder with watch back up. Helps me figure out where NOT to miss it.

If playing for lowest score on a course that I do not know, then both.  If I know the course, then either will work.  I do hit at pins, but also want to know the exact distance to the lip of a bunker, or something, and not the front of a green... the golf apps are not as precise as the range finder is.

 

I do tend to use a range finder more.

Watch 90%

Laser 10%

 

If i forget my watch, i lean on the Laser more.  Phone is more trouble than it's worth. I'll just look at the course markings.
