A Bushnell In My Future

Check this out...I measured the last 20-30 drives off #1 and most of the field was hitting it in the 280 - 295 range. Some that I remember:

O'Meara 278
David Toms 279
Zach Johnson 281
Raymond Floyd 283
K.J. Choi 291
Darren Clarke 301

TIGER WOODS 338 !!! (with a cut). 90 yards left to the pin, second shot bounded off the flagstick into the bunker...bogie.

Oh yeah, DiMarco 252 after careening off the trees to the right. HO HUM, birdie.


It's a fair game alright.

Great post, Eddie. Thanks! I can see how this would be the 'serious' spectator's dream...for incoming as well as outgoing.

Other than the standard golf shot yardages, do you have any other creative uses for the Bushnell? Also, what is the approximate price, and do you have a 'best place' (or at least a 'recommended place') to buy it?
