About
See the game differently
Approach Z80 laser range finder with GPS is the most accurate laser range finder available. It also gives you a new perspective on more than 41,000 courses worldwide. Looking through the viewfinder, you can see the view you ranged to as well as a full-colour CourseView overlay in 2-D for the whole you're playing, showing distances to hazards and to the front and back of the green. Then when you activate the laser range finder, you get absolute precise distances to any ranged target within 10”. The Approach Z80 automatically determines which hole you are currently playing to provide appropriate course layout and par information.

Lock onto the flag
Image stabilisation makes it easier to find and range to the flag. The ingenious flag finder locks onto the flag of any hole. After flag lock, the view finder changes automatically to add a detailed 2-D view of the green layout plus distances to the front and back of the green. The view through the range finder shows the hole at 6x magnification for clear, crisp views with augmented map overlays that show the hole layout.
Help for uphill and downhill shots
The PlaysLike Distance feature adjusts yardages for uphill or downhill shots based on the change in elevation from where you are standing to the location labelled on the map. This makes figuring out which club to use for uphill and downhill shots much easier. And for tournament play, you can turn PlaysLike Distance on or off. There’s even a PinPointer feature that helps show you the direction to the green on blind shots.

See what's in play
Once you range an object, the Laser Range Arc feature draws an arc on the 2-D course view map at the distance the laser ranged, so you can see everything that is in play at that distance.

Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The sales block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
