Should Amateurs Be Allowed to Use Rangefinders and Swing Analyzers in Tournaments?

Posted by Aksh Gupta 17 Apr 2025

Golf isn’t just about skill anymore—technology is becoming a player too.


From GPS rangefinders and launch monitors to AI-powered swing analyzers, the modern-day golfer has more data at their fingertips than ever before. But the big question is:


Is this fair game for amateurs, especially during tournaments?

Let’s tee up the debate!


On One Side: Tech Enhances the Game


  • - Helps amateurs understand their swing and make better decisions.

  • - Speeds up play with accurate yardage and recommendations.

  • - Levels the playing field for those who may not have a caddy or coach.


"Why shouldn't amateurs be allowed tools that make them better? We use training aids off-course—why not on it?"


On The Flip Side: Is It Still 'Pure' Golf?


  • -Golf has traditionally been about instinct, feel, and experience.

  • -Overuse of data may take away the mental challenge of the game.

  • -Some feel it’s an unfair advantage in competitions.


"Tech might help, but doesn’t it also take away the beauty of trusting your club and gut?"


Your Opinion Matters:


Should these tools be allowed freely, used only in practice, or completely banned in competition?
