Exactly what I was looking for! Quick and easy to use. Works exactly as described. Only thing that could make this better is if the yardage distance didn't disappear when changing the distance. Might not be possible though, either way this works great!

Golf is exactly the reason why I needed this. Thank you! (Jay below probably just needs to restart the browser after installing the extension; That's what I needed to do and it works just fine).
