We recently had the opportunity to shoot a test round with the next generation of golf technology, Bushnell's Hybrid Golf Rangefinder, a combination laser and GPS hand-held unit. Forget about subscribing to a GPS service, or loading courses before a round of golf. This unit has over 16,000 courses pre-loaded, and gives accurate, at-a-glance distances to the front, center, and back of the green. The laser distance gives golfers the option to shoot yardages to water hazards, fairway runoffs, and any other specific feature on a golf course. During our test drive, we quickly appreciated the Hybrid's flexibility. Our off-season shot dispersions took us into the woods and adjacent fairways. At times we were shooting distances to the fairway as an escape, and distances to the lip of a bunker. The laser distance feature was a key element to saving par. When we sprayed it off the tee to a parallel fairway, the GPS took the guesswork out of club selection. Bushnell's Hybrid was also a welcome blessing for a cart-path-only round. Our advice is to stockpile those gift cards for Bushnell's Hybrid. This device is as easy as a tap-in putt; moreover, Bushnell is trusted by the best players in the world -- they are the #1 laser rangefinder on the PGA TOUR. $499 www.bushnellgolf.com
