Benchmarking Distances with a Rangefinder
Learn how to plot shot dispersion without a launch monitor, using reference yardages, finger positioning, and target assessment for better club choices on the course.
In this video, I demonstrate how to plot dispersion without a launch monitor. First, I gather yardages for reference: for example, in this video, I used the green with flags or landmarks at 60 yards, 75 yards, 82 yards, and 95 yards. Then, I stand parallel to the target line and use finger dispersion to mark left-to-right pattern. I designate targets like the pin and bunkers with finger positions. After hitting shots, I record the distance and direction in relation to the target. I adjust my aim and use this method for various clubs to establish a trend. This helps me make informed club choices on the course when a launch monitor isn't available.
