About Yardstick Golf
We are a couple of the original golf simulator experts. We’ve been researching, reviewing, testing, and playing golf simulators for over a decade. We were the first site to publish a golf simulator business plan, the first to research golf simulator buyer satisfaction, and run one of the largest golf simulator forums on the internet.
