Rangefinders
A laser rangefinder answers one question exactly: how far to that. It is the most reliable distance device in golf because it measures what is in front of the golfer rather than estimating from a map. Slope compensation adjusts for elevation and must be switched off in competition, which is why the models worth buying make that a physical switch rather than a menu. For a golfer who already knows their carry numbers, this is the gift that makes them usable.
