Abstract
Various embodiments, aspects and features of the present invention encompass a golf flag comprising retroreflective material. Certain embodiments may also comprise fluorescent materials useful for being easily seen from a distance. Because golfers using laser-based rangefinders naturally aim a rangefinder at a golf flag, as opposed to the flagstick upon which the golf flag is mounted, it is an advantage of the solution that the flag is configured to reflect a portion of the laser beam back to the rangefinder. In this way, embodiments of the solution work to ensure accurate distance measurements for users of a laser-based rangefinder.
