I recently bought a two pack of Duracell CR2 batteries for my Bushnell Tour V2 range finder. These batteries aren’t that easy to find. The first battery lasted 35 holes (18+17). The next battery I installed I used for 18 holes. The next round a few days later I busted out the laser and the battery was already dead. So I’m at basically an average of one battery per 1.5 rounds. This is not acceptable, especially for batteries which are hard to find and run up to as much as $10 each. Either something has gone wrong with my V2 or Duracells don’t last at all. I’m trying an Energizer next.
If none of these pan out, I’ll be in the market for a new laser rangefinder to replace my Bushnell Tour V2. Suggestions welcomed.

My YouTube channel, where I store all of my online golf videos, has now topped 2,500,000 views. Yes that may seem like a small number compared to the “Britney Spears Panties” videos or “Congressman Assaults Student” videos, but hey it is golf content.
Those of you who have followed this web site know that I take my golf product reviews seriously. I don’t just swing a club three times and write a two paragraph review about it. I play it for weeks and dozens of rounds. I don’t just wear a pair of golf shoes two times and write an uninformed review about them. I wear them for 30-40 rounds. I pride myself in the time I spend and the attention to detail I take when reviewing golf products and my reviews can be several thousand words. I take pride in the fact that 99% of the product photos here are original, and not provided to me or taken from some other web site.
This review is perhaps one I’ve spent the most time on; testing, evaluating, pondering, experimenting, tweaking, pushing the limits. This product is one I tested every day for months straight, usually in the morning. I evaluated this product in every type of condition the environment presented. Sometimes I tested it out in the evening or even a few times per day. Other times I may have I tested it out after having some very hot Mexican food the day before or perhaps those times when I’d had some chicken the day before which wasn’t quite fresh.
HOG sends best wishes and a happy birthday to Lefty, Phil Mickelson.
