Father’s Day is right around the corner and if you need a last-minute gift for your golf-loving dad, a rangefinder is always a safe bet. If he can lock in his distances, his game will certainly improve, and a better golf game is the ultimate Father’s Day present.

If your dad is a top-of-the-line kind of guy, you’ll want to go with this one from Bushnell, touted as the most powerful rangefinder of all time. It can shoot the flag from 500 yards out and it’s slope technology factors in both weather and altitude — like, how?!? It’s one of those features we don’t understand, but are also super pumped about. Modern technology is truly a marvel.
