Thank you Rhapsodo for the donation of two MLM 2 Pro Launch Monitors to our chapter. We used them at Saint Johns Resort on the range to dial in some distances for our participants to use on the Little Cardinal course. When the golf fundamental is distance to the target, we know what to use to help reinforce! Thanks again, Rhapsodo for helping us Build Game Changers!
