That's easy...they dont!

A rangefinder simply measures the linear distance between the user and whatever target they select (tree, flagpole, etc). A golfers height is not involved into the calculation.

Certain rangefinders have a "slope" feature...which is a built-in inclinometer that provides a compensated distance based upon the degree of incline or decline. This means when you are aiming at target that's uphill or downhill, the rangefinder (with slope feature) will adjust the yardage reading for the angle and distance.

So all things being equal, the 5'10" golfer will get the exact same reading as the 6'4" golfer.
