Nikon cameras are a trusted brand so I guess pulling the trigger and buying this one didn't feel like too much of a leap of faith. They are a company that stand behind their products and this one is no exception.
Also the case is solid. A small thing to think about but when this thing is in your bag getting crushed and thrown around, you'll be happy there's a case that's actually doing it's job.
All of these years, I've used the onboard golf cart GPS which is offered by all the courses I play. When I began exclusively walking, I bought a Garmin GPS watch which gave me the same functionality of the golf cart GPS. But now that I own a rangefinder, I have found that it has a positive impact to my game, I can quickly scope trees, hazards, distances to 100, 150, and 200 yard markers, and it has strategically changed how I play. I'm playing a lot more target golf and laying up so I can use my most accurate clubs for an approach shot. For me, I'd rather play a full swing high wedge shot instead of a bump and run, so for me, I'd rather be 80-100 yards instead of 40-70 yards. My pin accuracy has improved since I started using the Coolshot 20.
As for the specifics of the Coolshot 20, I've never used any other rangefinder, so I don't have any basis for comparison. The viewfinder is bright and clear and the cross hairs makes it easy to scope a target within seconds. I have no problems scoping anything within 200 yards. Anything over 200 yards can be a little difficult to scope, but combined with readings from my GPS watch, I can quickly filter out the false readings of landmarks behind the green. The Coolshot 20 is really small, it fits in a pocket, it's easy to operate with one hand. It looks to be very well made and should stand the test of time, and most importantly, it's a Nikon as opposed to these unknown Chinese brands offered at the same price point. From my understanding, this is a very rudimentary rangefinder with no bells and whistles offered by the more expensive rangefinders, but it works great for me.
I really can't speak to its value at its normal sales price of $199. But at $99, it's an absolute must buy for any serious golfer who wants a rangefinder. .
I've caught myself getting readings of the trees behind the green and have flown the green a few times because of it. Most of the time, I shoot the flag and a nearby item (like a sand trap) to confirm that the distance is right now to make sure I hit my target.

Une lecture clair avec un zoom intéressant pour la longue portée.
I took it to the range to basically calibrate my clubs. Now knowing exactly what I hit distance wise when I get on the course I'm much more precise in hitting greens. I've also discovered that some course posted tee distances aren't exactly accurate. I've seen up to 15 yards in differences. Money well spent.
