BUSHNELL GOLF TOUR V2 WITH SLOPE LASER RANGEFINDER

You almost feel like you left your putter in the trunk if you play in a group where at least one person doesn't have a range finder. You've got to know whether it is 173 yards to the pin, or 172. Bushnell's Golf Tour V2 won't let you down. It has all the bells and whistles in terms of a small size and enhanced feel.

It also has a built-in inclinometer to provide the player with a compensated distance based upon the degree of incline or decline. Slope can make a big difference in club section. Right? You've just got to know. The Tour V2 sells for $399.
