For years, distance measuring devices (DMDs) with slope have been considered illegal. Recently, the USGA has loosened the rules belt, allowing DMDs with slope to be used in tournaments as long as the slope function can be turned off.
The industry accepted term, “Slope,” is actually a patented technology created by Bushnell. “Slope” provides compensated distances for uphill and downhill shots. No need to walk the course with a caddie to get the exact distances, simply point and shoot, Bushnell’s Slope Technology does the rest. Caddies are relied on to provide distances, but know with Bushnell’s state-of-the-art technology, caddies are unnecessary for the average golfer. They’re now able to prepare just like the pros.
