Your best bet under $1k for what you want is the newer Rapsodo MLM2Pro. But the FlightScope Mevo+ will do a much better job of allowing you to factor in elevation/ball type, and give you more flexibility when it comes to simulation.

My current original Rapsodo MLM gives me shorter distances. I’d love to have one that would work on the range or inside into a net. Is it possible to also have simulation ability for $1000?

Six courses to add to your “Really Ought to Play” list are, in Georgia, Barnsley Gardens, Old Toccoa Farm(bring plenty of balls!) and McLemore, and, in Alabama, the Mindbreaker, Heartbreaker, and Backbreaker nines at Silver Lakes, an RTJ Trail complex (there’s also an intriguing-looking par 3 nine that I didn’t have time to play), Cider Ridge (whose first six holes are nothing spectacular, but whose last 12 are awesome), and Gunter’s Landing, which will be even better when they re-do the 3rd, 5th and 8th greens (until which time you should make SURE your approach on those holes stays BELOW the flag!).

Regards,
Rick Weinberg

Joining Pebble Beach, the Sheep Ranch at Bandon, and the River Course at Blackwolf Run are Ballybunion, Tralee and Old Head. Ballybunion more than lived up to its reputation– especially the back nine, which goes 4-4-3-5-3-3-5-4-4, a perfect fit for the duneland it sits on. Arnie said it all when he described Tralee: “I designed the front nine, God created the back.” And to say Old Head is spectacular is an understatement– NINE cliffside holes, with the cliffs up to 200 feet high (and most of the dropoffs are very, very steep). The 12th is the best par 5 I’ve ever seen.

The week also included rounds at Waterville and Lahinch, both of which are almost as good as the six courses listed above.

I hope you get a chance to golf in Ireland soon. When you do, I’ll be interested in reading your course reviews. One more thing: after your round at Old Head, be sure to have a bowl of their fabulous seafood chowder!

Regards,
Rick Weinberg

Honestly, I reached out to them to see if they wanted me to review. And we had an exchange and I never heard from them again. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them, so would love to review their latest models soon.

Why did you not review any Leupolds? I think they may be the best. My 20 year old Leupold is better than all the Bushnells I tried. Thanks

The kind that follow you on the course versus the human powered 3 or 4 wheelers.
