I think I posted this to the wrong thread or something, but here goes again.
I got a Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 last Friday and it is pretty awesome. I have bee using a Skycaddie for the past year and have been pretty satisfied.
This ne tool is the bomb. On Friday I used it for the first time at my local muni (which is not skycaddie ready) and shot 75 with two doubles. I was amazed at how quickly it locks on the flag. I reall gives you confidence in the shot.
On Sunday afternoon, I took it to my club and again shot under my handicap. There is a hole with a 43 yard deep green that I advised my playing partner that he was 145 from the pin. "But I'm on the 125 marker." he was two clubs short as they almost missed the back of the green with the pin.

I'm sold.
MacParrot,
I was shocked by the kind of numbers you mention when I started as a caddie. I had become a pretty decent player without any idea how much pins changed the yardage. I added some but not nearly enough. It gets really out of hand with diagonal greens where you end up in a trap or hazard with a good shot but the wrong yardage.
We still double check the numbers when we come up with 145 when we are standing by the 125 marker. Big green, back pin. After you have looked at the real numbers for a while, it just sinks in. You get much better at judging them on the fly without the laser.
