Agentive '-er' applied to the verb 'slice' yields 'one who slices' (metaphorically, a golfer who produces slice shots), which is straightforwardly predictable.

Etymology

Slicer in golf comes from slice ('to cut') because a certain swing gives the ball a spin that makes it curve to the side, as if its path were 'cut'. So a slicer is a golfer whose shots usually curve to the right.
