After much soul searching, meditation, prayer, etc., I have come to a conclusion about the use of distance devices. In the spirit of the game, I have decided to toss my laser rangefinder. I now walk off the yardage for every shot I play on the course. It's wonderful. Of course, my pace of play for a round of golf is now at least 6.5 hours, but I feel that is but a small price to pay for honoring the spirit of the game.
Brian how many steps is that on your fitbit?
I have not tracked my steps yet. But I will say that I've had to lecture a few groups playing behind me that it's ungentlemanly for them to try to jump me in line when I'm walking off distances before teeing off. They suggested I use a laser to pick up the pace. I told them, in no uncertain terms, that I don't cheat!
