True but fior those who don't play often enough or have a way to measure distances on the course, range bals and range time are the only other way. At the very least it gives a good approximation. Most people aren't that precise anyway so +/- 5 yds or so is not going to kill them, especially with the longer clubs. Just my opinion though.

Of course, if they play that rarely then it likely doesn't make any difference anyway. A player who plays once a week could use the method I described and get along quite well. It's how I did it back in the 70's when I first started playing regularly - no more than one round a week but it took only 3 or 4 rounds at most to get a good idea how far I hit each iron. One who only plays 2 or 3 times a year isn't going to be consistent enough for it to matter.
