Gear review
Rangefinder X200
Tested across three early rounds before it earned a permanent spot in the bag. Fast, accurate, and easy to use half-awake.
$249
Overview
Teed off at 6:15am on a Tuesday. Quiet front nine, coffee at the turn was actually good, and we were back in the car before school drop-off.

Verdict: 4.2 Breakfast Balls out of 5
Worth the upgrade if you're still guessing yardages. For a dad squeezing in two rounds a week, this is the kind of gear that makes those rounds count.
