Bushnell Golf Tour Rangefinder — Bushnell Golf / Bushnell Golf

Bushnell Golf is well-known for having some of the best rangefinders in the golf game, but it looks like they may be raising the bar again with the announcement of their new Tour Hybrid Rangefinder. Here’s what to expect:

One thing about rangefinders is that GPS lacks the precision of a laser, but laser-only devices don’t give you the insight of GPS-based course mapping. While many rangefinders either use laser or GPS, the Tour Hybrid actually combines both to enhance precision. This device will simultaneously display lasered pin distance and GPS-provided front, center, and back yardages.

This device is said to range 500+ yards to a flag with 6x magnification. Once the device locks onto the flag, it will vibrate and flash a visual confirmation. Then, once you’re done, you can attach it to your golf cart using the strong, built-in magnet or stash it away in its carrying case.

Bluetooth connectivity to the Bushnell Golf Mobile App allows for full course updates, and there is slope-switch technology so you’re always compliant with tournament rules.

Currently, there isn’t any information out on battery life. Historically, the brand has used a CR2 battery to power their devices’ functionalities like on the Tour V3. That one lasts for around 40 to 45 rounds of golf. This time, they are using a CR123, which may mean that this model will last longer than its counterparts.

The Tour Hybrid Rangefinder by Bushnell Golf will be available in April of this year and retail for a price of $399.99.

Stewart Golf Q Follow Review: The Electric Caddie You’ll Never Want to Leave at Home

Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

I was skeptical about the Stewart Golf Q Follow, but probably not for the reason you’d expect. I already understood the appeal of an electric caddie. What I wasn’t convinced of was whether I could actually live with one.

My sports sedan isn’t exactly a cargo van, and my golf bag already has permanent residency in the trunk. The last thing I wanted was another piece of golf gear that required a game of Tetris every time I headed to the course.

How the Baseus PicoGo series is making travel charging less of a hassle

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Every traveller has an everyday carry, even if they don’t think of it that way. A smartphone is a given. Earbuds are almost always close by. Many people also carry a smartwatch, a tablet, a handheld gaming console or a lightweight laptop, depending on where the day takes them. The common thread isn’t the devices themselves but the expectation that they’ll always be ready when they’re needed.

Baseus believes portable charging should be just as effortless to carry as the devices people rely on every day. The PicoGo Series brings that idea to life with two products that complement each other. PicoGo Air leads the lineup with an ultra-thin, lightweight design for everyday smartphone charging, while PicoGo AM52 expands the experience with higher capacity, a built-in cable and multi-device charging for longer journeys. Together, they create a complete charging solution for travellers, outdoor enthusiasts and digital nomads.

Steep, Unscripted, and Now Olympic: Freeride’s Big Leap

Outdoors, Nature, Snow

Victor de Le Rue stood in the starting tent atop the Bec de Rosses, 10,574 feet above Verbier, Switzerland, and surveyed the terrain. After some fist bumps, he dropped into the face, with pitches from 45 to 60 degrees, where cliff bands and outcroppings mar the surface like sharks waiting to attack. A place to survive. Instead, he turned it into a playground.

After a quick drop off a narrow outcropping, he surfed through a powder field, approached a snowy ridge, and lept into a backflip with the deftness of a leopard. From there, the dance continued. A backside 360 off a cliff, slashes through wind-whipped snow, and a run-capping drop over an extended rock formation. This is freeride. At once, a demonstration of skill and creativity.
