Great device love mine. But no not a great deal, got one on eBay for $262 shipped.

Oops I didn't see the slope part. Mine is the V3 Tour, that is 262 shipped.

Just noticed the Bushnell Tour V3 Slope Edition is $305.98 on Amazon!

Besides the fact you can't post any rounds to your handicap when you use it. I don't see the significance of using slope anyways. I think the adjustment depends more on flight trajectory. I rather just make the judgement call myself. In that regard, you can get the normal Tour V3 for $299 off amazon.

Rule 14-3

Rangefinders and other Electronic Distance Measuring Devices

Q.  Is it legal under the Rules of Golf to use a Rangefinder or other Electronic Distance Measuring device?

A.  The use of a distance-measuring device is a breach of Rule 14-3, which states that during a stipulated round, the player shall not use any artificial device or unusual equipment for the purpose of gauging or measuring distance or conditions which might affect his play (Rule 14-3).

The USGA Handicap System requires players to post scores made when a device which measures distance only has been used (regardless of whether the Committee has adopted the Local Rule described below). Scores made while using a device which measures other conditions which might affect play (e.g., wind speed or the slope of the ground) are not acceptable for Handicapping purposes. Please refer to Section 5-1 of the USGA Handicap System Manual regarding acceptable scores. USGA Handicap Home Page

I figured it wasn't the slope for $262. Thanks for the reply.

A range finder is one of the best investments in your game that you can make...  As many others said, I recommend the non-slope version...  I have the Tour V2 and love it!!

      Sanding a Golf Iron

      By iacas ·

      Yeah, uhhh… keep them dry? Because, yeah, the chrome is partly to help them not rust. You could have them re-plated, though you'd have to check on the legality. You could have them refinished by a company like this: https://www.theironfactory.com (they have closed, but there are still some other companies like them). Or, use them until they rust out a bit too much, and buy a new set.

      On further reflection, I take back my "stupid" comment. It does make sense when put in context that the rule is to prevent any external attachments to the face of the club. Any change to that rule to allow exceptions would complicate the rule unnecessarily when it is easy enough to remove the stickers, etc.  I was surprised with her coaches advice and I've told her to just remove them before any competitions.

      High school golf coaches are often not really knowledgeable about the rules, I have an issue when a coach tells a player NOT to follow A specific rule.  As for the "stupidity" of this particular rule, I can't see a way to allow SOME stuff on the club face without allowing everything on the clubface.
