In the world of golf, lasers have shifted from "high-tech luxury" to an essential tool for both casual players and professionals. Their application primarily centers on precision measurement and data visualization. Here is how laser technology is currently applied to the game: 1. Laser Rangefinders (LRF) This is the most common consumer application. These handheld devices use Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) to calculate the exact distance between the golfer and a target (usually the flagstick). Time-of-Flight: The device emits a laser pulse and measures the nanoseconds it takes to bounce off the target and return. Pin-Seeker Technology: Advanced units use software to "lock onto" the narrow flagstick while filtering out background objects like trees or hills. Slope Compensation: Many lasers now include inclinometers to calculate the "play-as" distance. For example, if ...
