If you’re prepping for the new golf season but don’t have a reliable distance-measuring device in your arsenal, now is the time to gear up.

Today’s rangefinders have loads of features in addition to their distance-measuring capabilities. Many have a slope option that you can toggle on and off with a simple switch, and some even measure the effect of altitude and temperature.
