I don't have the slope edition. Like Gerry said, ey are illegal to use. And I would like to be able to use them when I want.

I don't know how the elevation check works on them as I haven't seen that feature in action. Golf is suppose to be a game of honour and since it's illegal to use one with that feature I would assume that someone I'm playing against isn't using one. If I'm playing with someone with a 1500 I would probably ask them especially if on a hole with a fair bit of elevation change. If he has that feature then he'd be dq'd.

They are the same optics, just one has the slope and one doesn't.
A guy I know is on the Senior Tour and he uses one with slope for the practice rounds. Two other Canadian Tour guys I know also use the slope versions.
You are allowed to use whatever you want during a practice round, but in competition, where most people have a caddy anyway, you are not permitted to use one with slope. In fact, I don't see why this is even a rule because I've never been to a Tour event and seen anyone using a range finder during the round.

It still has to be a local rule to use them in competition. The PGA still doesn't allow them in competitive rounds although they have their yardage books which are as good as having one or even better. Here in the Ottawa area the OVGA doesn't allow them in comps either as Golf Quebec says "no". When I put the question to the ovga as to why they said it would slow play up and I totally disagree with that answer. I feel that within a year or two they will be using them on tour.
