Be careful with the GT monitors Ratfink, they are very often way off on their calibration points or over estimate the distance the shot went by a long way. Somehow I gain 30 yards everytime I hit one of those monitors over course conditions. Something in the AC maybe...

HAHA oh good! I'm glad I"m not the only one. However, it depends on my point of reference.
When I was taking lessons in their swing cage, I could rifle off 150 yards with a 7 iron and feel pretty good about myself. Then I'd go to the range and I'd struggle to make 130 normally, but then rifle off one to the 150 markers. And then, I could be 20 yards short of the 150 yard marker on a course, and rifle off a shot right onto the green making a 170 yard shot. So I don't know which is wrong.
I know the balls/markers at my local driving range suck because my friend can barely get past 250 yards with his driver, yet on course we've clocked him at 310 when a random 4th had a laser range finder.
