As long as you are playing on a course with 7' tall flags, you will be fine. Just concentrate on light breathing when using it. However, once you go to an 8' flag course, all bets are off. I can't make it anywhere near accurate at 8' courses. The manual gives you some ridiculous formula to use.

For the price this is worth every penny. Of course it depends on how much your hands shake. Very clear and the sun does not bother you. The yardage reading is close enough for a good golfer to choose what club he or she needs. Thanks for the help.

For what you are paying it is good quality, made very well.But as everyone will tell you it's real hard to get an accurate yardage reading because the slightest movement, even when you think you are very still, it jumps all over so the best you can hope for is an approximate reading.I would still recommend this product for those of you who don't want to or can't afford the luxury of a few hundred dollars for a GPS or Laser, this is still a tool that can help you with yardage when markers are not available.

The Golf Scope is only useful on courses that have eight foot flag pins that are painted different color each foot. I have played seven courses since recieving the Golf Scope and none of the seven have pins like this. The product is durable and has good optics, but has been of no use on the courses I have played.

This was purchased as a gift . The recipient seems to like it though, so far, he hasn't had much opportunity to use it.

• How accurate was the sizing? na
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. It seems to be of sturdy construction
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

There is a reason that Laser and GPS units cost what they do; they work. This device is a low magnification monocular, with measurement "grid" on the optical lens for "estimating " distances. Lot of work for very little accuracy.

The measuring bar inside the lens provides questionable range data. If you mounted this on a bipod it could possibly provide accurate data, but I can use my naked eye and get a closer range estimate than this scope provides.

• How accurate was the sizing? good
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. durable
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? can't really tell

I was expecting a more accurate distance, the glass was off after 50 yards

• How accurate was the sizing? sizing was correct
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. I found the distance was incorrect after 50 yards
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

You get what you pay for. This was ~$20, and didn't expect the world out of it. It has a very simplified distance gauge on the inside of the lens, essentially you line up the pin with the line inside the viewing scope, and you can "tell" how far you are away. It will basically tell you if you are 200 yards, 100 yards, 75 or 50 yards out. If you can't tell that on your own, then this might help. Don't expect it to tell you exactly how close you are. Nice to zoom in on things.

• How accurate was the sizing? Size was as indicated
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. You get what you pay for. This is nice to magnify distance, but hardly useful for actually telling distancewise how close/far you are from the pin.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

For the price, you cannot beat it. I find that it works well for me as a new golfer.

good price, functions well, after a little trial and error, will have to wait 'till spring to use it more often.

I bought this for my son-in-law. He's hoping it will do wonders for his game.

Small, simple and a good basic golf tool to have on the course for when you need a quick gauge of distance and nothing else is available to utilize for gauging distance.

We have not used the product. Got it to late in the season.

This scope requires a great amount of stabilization for accuracy. I need to use both hands. Some friends have tried it and had the same comments. I took this to my favorite driving range and when steady it hit the markers to 250 yards dead on. I expected something easier to use.

Get for the value. does add to knowledge level when playing golf.

Looking for my golf ball became easy. The best price too.

This is a nice little scope but due to its size and mag. it is close to impossible to keep it steady.... Accuracy of distance is relevant to the how well you can keep it from shaking.....

Small and different that others I have seen, but worth the price paid.

Nice product, small and compact. Takes a bit to get used to the technique as it is a manual and not a digital scope.
