Hi I’m Matt Lockey, welcome to my Coach Lockey YouTube Channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, and to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf course vlogs, golf challenges, golf tips, golf lessons, golf club reviews and the odd golf club unboxing. So pretty much everything golf!
I want to help you play better golf by providing coaching videos on all topics about golf. How to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
As well as helping you produce the best long game you can have, I will help you lower your scores by chipping better, stopping duff and thin chips, pitching the ball closer and creating backspin like the tour pros. Finally, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts too!
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I use GPS..
Guys, GPS is free. There’s tons of free phone apps that will give you these numbers!
I use a shot scope watch and laser during rounds. I tend to use the laser when I’m within the 100-150 yard range to get a ‘closer’ look at the green and will shoot the pin as well as back edges of bunkers to gauge approximate landing areas. I don’t have the consistency to hit targets every time, but it takes the guess work out of the equation and sets a definite intention rather than hit ‘n’ hope.
Surely if you're using both RF and watch, your watch would give you bunkers/water etc.
I use a Milessey range finder and 18 Birdies on my phone when I play. They both have their benefits
Back to Velcro shoes coach! Those laces can be tricky 😂
I used to be a 18 handicap prior to having a rangefinder, once i bought a rangefinder and a watch after gapping all my clubs I dropped about 5 shots instantly. Was best thing I've ever purchased to help my game. Commiting to a precise yardage on every shot. Used to hit perfect 8irons and be a club short or long but not now. I now play to 9 but if i had choice of lose the driver or rangefinder it be the driver.
I use both. After stopping at my ball, I zap the flag with a laser. That gives the GPS time to "calm down" and "settle in" on the right yardages, and then I'll decide where I want to try to land my ball with the approach. From the tee a GPS is necessary to determine dog-leg runouts and distances to fairway hazards.
i use gps watch and aim for middle of green, using that number. depending on flag position andwind, i might adjust. if im 165 out from the middle, im not good enough to worry about if the flag is 157 or 175, i just want to get on the green.
"it has a battery which is replaceable…"
How very 20th Century, maybe in another few years Bushnell will be told about the magic of USB charging. Given my experience of a Bushnell GPS watch which was so unreliable that it couldn't even keep time accurately I probably wouldn't buy anything from Bushnell.
I initially bought my rangefinder for use at the driving range to shoot the targets. I use both on the course for different purposes(not both on every hole) but it’s a game changer on the range.
I paid $100AUD for my range finder and it’s never missed a beat.
Only use GPS. I wish my game was good enough to fire at pins. I'm typically playing to the center, sometimes center-right or center-left.
The GPS on my phone has hole maps and you can select bunkers, streams, etc to find out distances.
Coach…. love the channel, who knew you were so good in front of the camera when "in charge"!.. Just one thought, why when you bike to the course… do you leave your cycling shoes on to play in!! 😁😆
My strategy when using my laser rangefinder is to add 5 yards to whatever number I shoot then play that yardage to the middle of the green. It’s worked out quite well. I also have a approach s62 watch that also helps with identifying hazards and distances to those hazards.
Great video 👍 i use a gps and on flag position most course i play have different coloured flags for front middle and back but usually play middle yardage anyway
GPS watch only. The flag is never my priority – it’s to avoid potential score destroyers like bunkers or being on the wrong side of @ slope. My distance control is not one of my better skills so areas rather than the pin makes far more sense.
Is use GPS – Garmin G80 – and use front, middle and back of the green differences based on conditions.
I love using a combination of GPS and rangefinder…. Golfshot on the phone for picking a spot on the fairway and knowing both distance from the tee and distance to the green, from that fairway spot. Rangefinder to pin and front/middle/back to work out where the pin is… then erring on the side of the middle of the green. Also like to ping a tree on my driving line…. just gives confidence coming into the shot that you can give it full beans without hitting it too far. So I have the rangefinder, golfshot app and shotscope v5….. oh, and a garmin running watch with a golf option…. too much tech? lol
When your round is over, check the cart/buggy for your magnetic range finder. I must have left mine at 3 different courses.
I have both but find myself more and more often leaning towards front/middle/back yardages. Really like my rangefinder for shots within 125 to try to match up with my wedge matrix.
I have a top brand slope rangefinder but I find on overly sunny or misty cold days it can’t lock into the flag or inkers very well so thinking gps
I use both. I will zip the pint once I'm in approach range. However, depending on where the flag is located, I will usually try to land in a safe place to two-putt.
I have both but I usually use my watch it's easier, but I am not very good, trying to get better at breaking ninety.
I use both the rangefinder to find the pin in relation to what part of the green it's on and then I check my GPS watch to find the front, middle and back of the green yardages. This is generally just for information so I know where the pin is in realtion to the FMB of the green. If the pin is on the front, I try and aim for the middle. If the pin is in the middle I try and aim for the back. If it's at the back I aim for the back. I rarely hit my clubs exactly to the distance I think so I always overclub and this usually works more often than not.
GPS watch is great, quick to use, reliable and less prone to operator error than a rangefinder. It gives me what I need to try to hit more greens, pin hunting? Nah! I found a rangefinder particularly useful in the winter when temporary greens etc are in use. Both good devices.
I use both. Got a free gps app n my phone that’s really good. Use it off the tee, blind shots and for front, middle and back of the green. Love the range finder for knowing exactly where the pin is on the green as well as being able to zap trouble. Definitely using both is the best way to go.
I use both. I use the rangefinder more to check distances to the end of a fairway or a tree at the inside of a dogleg. I use the gps watch to decide on club choice.
