New USGA Rules Revision Makes Nikon LaserCaddy(TM) a Valuable Addition to Every Golf Bag

Good news for golf enthusiasts! A recent announcement by the United States Golf Association (USGA) has confirmed that measuring devices, such as GPS systems or rangefinders -- including the Nikon LaserCaddy(TM) -- will be permitted for use at the discretion of tournament organizers. This announcement represents a tremendous step for golf in recognizing the continued role technology can play in furthering the skills of players at all levels. "Nikon is very pleased with the announcement permitting rangefinders and other measuring devices during game play. We believe this to be a positive addition allowing golfers to receive fast, precise distance information thereby improving club selection and also positively affecting pace of play," said Jon Allen, general manager, Sport and Recreational Optics for Nikon Inc. "At Nikon, we view the acceptance of measuring devices much the same as the significant advancements in club, shaft and ball technology - all focused on improving the experience for the individual player." The Nikon LaserCaddy(TM) is a highly compact laser rangefinder, which accurately measures distance from 11 to 550 yards and can read the distance to the pin -- not just the flag -- at up to 160 yards, making sure that regardless of weather or lighting, you can always accurately judge your shot. Nikon's advanced original digital processor and highest-grade optics allow all golfers to gauge distance more precisely for accurate second shot club selection. The Nikon LaserCaddy features 6x precision multicoated optical glass to ensure the brightest, clearest image and a high-contrast LCD display to provide fast, accurate targeting against any background. Combine that with the adjustable diopter and a field of view of 330 feet at 1000 yards, and you have a rangefinder that is as easy to use as it is accurate, yet small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, let alone your golf bag. About Nikon Nikon Inc. is the U.S. distributor of Nikon sports and recreational optics, world-renowned Nikon 35mm cameras, digital cameras, speedlights and accessories, Nikkor lenses and electronic imaging products.
