Find a golfer friend who owns a laser range-finder, and borrow it for a day!
The one I own (Bushnell Pinseeker) can easily measure targets from 5-1,500
yards with excellent accuracy.
Now if it could just cure my slice!

WOW!!! I haven't seen a logrithem table since high school. I graduated
in 67. Plus they are big. It's a lot easier to spend $10 for a scientific
calculator, or take the numbers back to you computer (unless you have a
lap top) and use the calculator provided in windows (just set it to
scientific).
In fact, most people at my office didn't know what a CRC table book was!
