Ever stood on a golf course, squinting at the flag, and wished for Superman’s vision? Here s a case for cheap best budget golf rangefinders. These nifty gadgets can be your good companion without costing an arm and a leg to look after them. Let me share with you a few options that fit neatly into our definition of ballers on a budget.

First up for our money-saving journey is the TecTecTec VPRO500. With its price tag screaming ‘cheaper than cheap’, the VPRO500 speaks its mind. In the capable hands of this little devil, you ll be reaching further than a golfer’s wildest dreams of success. Not only that, but it s like having a GPS receiver installed in the regions of your brain responsible for navigation– only without any migraines. And the laser is easy to use too, which means more time spent perfecting your swing and less chance of technology getting you down.

Then we have the Precision Pro NX7. Have you ever got to that point where you realize you ve taken too big a bite? Well this thing helps you chew it all over. As smooth as a baby s bottom, its adaptive slope technology just fades into the uphill angle or downhill incline at your command. Turn the thing on point and shoot, then suddenly there s– distance served up like pizza. mmmm…

Oh, and what about the Bushnell Tour V4 JOLT? Think of getting a pat on the back every time you hit the flag. That’s what this rangefinder is for. Between your fingers buzzes a muffled little noise, which, after much cursing was diagnosed by Bushnell’s operator as being a boa constrictor trying to make its escape from your hand!

“Well,” I can hear you saying, ‘but do I really need one?’ If you play more than a handful of rounds each year and don’t want to spend nights dreaming up scenarios where dark storm clouds gather over an empty account, then owning an affordable, quality rangefinder is the easiest decision in golf. Yes, siree. How does your last tee sound?

And if you’re worried about looking like a complete noob out there–fear not. Most budget rangefinders merge seamlessly with gear that may cost an arm and a leg to acquire. Tip: When your buddies ask how suddenly you re reading the course like a cartographer, just give them a mysterious smile in return.

Life is short, the time for teeing off with a little round white ball upon the lush green field is even more scarce. Do yourself a favor: don t have to sell body parts on the black market in order to get your hands on one. The links are calling, and they want you at peak performance–even on an overworked beer budget.
