Range finder for determining the distance between the user and an object
of known height or width, such as a golf flagstick, structure, etc. The
range finder is a flat card, having a series of graduated apertures, each
aperture being dimensioned to correspond to a particular distance to the
flagstick. Range information is provided for each aperture. The user
holds the card 24 inches from the eye and sights the flagstick through
the apertures. The range information for the aperture whose diameter most
closely corresponds to the height of the sighted flagstick is the actual
distance between the user and the flagstick. The apertures are graduated
in size, to represent range information in specific increments. The size
of the increments is selected to facilitate optimal performance and may
vary within a series of apertures.
