    Laser Link Golf reports that laser rangefinders have once again proven to be the choice of golfers around the country. In a survey conducted at the Southern Texas PGA Championship, laser rangefinders outnumbered handheld GPS by a count 68-2.

    Just as they have at recent events around the country, laser rangefinders scored another impressive usage victory, this time at the Southern Texas PGA Championship. This event featured eighty-seven players vying not only for the section title, but also for coveted spots in the 2012 PGA Professional National Championship. As in previous surveys, participants in the event were asked only two simple questions:

    ·    Are you using an electronic measuring device during the event?


    ·    What type – laser rangefinder or GPS?

    The results showed that the overwhelming choice of the surveyed tournament participants was laser rangefinders. Of the 87 participants questioned, a total of 70 used an electronic measuring device (EMD) while 17 others relied on course markings for their measurements. Of the 70 surveyed participants that used an EMD, a whopping 68 used a laser rangefinder, while only 2 used a portable GPS. In percentage terms, this works out to (percents have been rounded to the nearest whole percentage):

        78% of all participants used a laser rangefinder


        20% of all participants used course markings


         2% of all participants used handheld GPS


        97% of participants using an EMD chose laser rangefinders


         3% of participants using an EMD chose GPS

    “It’s exciting to see PGA professionals embrace laser technology so overwhelmingly,” said Rob O’Loughlin, president of Laser Link Golf. “Day in and day out, they live the game of golf, and they know what is best and what is right for the game, and they are relying on laser rangefinders for their distance information.”

    The Southern Texas PGA Championship was held at Miramont Golf Club in Bryan, TX.
