Hen,when pacing off yardages,do you check your stride length?
I caddied in an Open qualifier a few years ago and decided to check my stride measurements as there were very few yardage markers on the course, you could end up having to pace off 20 -30 yards.I found my "measuring stride" was pretty good.
What do you do?
Great stuff by the way

I worked a first stage open qualifier this year and had to do some of that long pacing. In the practice round, I had lasered the 150 markers (no time to shoot every head) so I used those. I was trusting my long pacing rather than sprinkler heads that I had not checked. I'd say I'm plus or minus a yard at thirty yards (not great)--I started working in the laser era. Some old school guys can pace tee to green with accuracy. Football field would be the place to check your stride if you are that into it. One thing that you really have to pay attention to is when the sprinkler is off-line of your shot. The best way to learn about that is with the laser.
