Yardstick Golf

Many of you who know me know that I've spent 15 years researching, writing about, and talking to operators in the golf simulator industry. My marketing agency even supports some of them with our services.

In that time, one thing has become clear: many commercial sim operators are underinsured. This is not because they're careless, but because the right coverage simply didn't exist.

Flying club liability. $15K–$40K equipment setups. Liquor service. Booking systems holding customer payment data. These are the risks that define a sim operation and the ones standard policies consistently underwrite poorly or exclude entirely.

So I partnered with CoverMyNiche to do something about it.
Today we're launching the Golf Simulator Insurance Program — purpose-built commercial coverage for sim lounges, multi-bay facilities, and indoor golf entertainment venues. Six core coverage types, specialty underwriting, same-week certificates.

We also built a free 2-minute risk assessment at the link below. Nine questions. Personalized risk score. Printable PDF. It's genuinely useful even if you never buy a policy.

If you know a commercial sim operator (a sim lounge owner, a golf entertainment venue, a multi-bay facility), I'd be grateful if you tagged them below or shared this post. This is a real gap in a fast-growing industry, and the right coverage can be the difference between surviving a bad event and not.

Join me for a full 18-hole round on Golf Club Mediterranean using the Square Golf launch monitor! In this video, I hit every single shot and zoom in on the ball flight so you can see exactly how each one tracks — no putts included, just full swings from tee to green.

About Golf Club Mediterranean:
Golf Club Mediterranean is a coastal layout measuring just over 7,000 yards, making it a solid test of length without being a slog. The course earns a 3 out of 5 on course difficulty and a 2 out of 5 on green difficulty — meaning you'll face a fair but manageable challenge off the tee and through the fairways, with more forgiving putting surfaces that won't punish you too harshly. This is a great pick for mid-handicappers looking for a well-rounded, realistic round that rewards smart course management without being brutally punishing.

My overall verdict: fair course — a genuine all-around test that doesn't lean too gimmicky or too brutal.

What you'll see in this video:
- Every shot from tee to greenside approach (I did edit out 2 OB shots)
- Zoomed-in ball flight tracking on all 18 holes
- Real-time Square Golf launch monitor data
- Coastal hole designs with varied shot shapes required

Square Golf Launch Monitor is one of the top golf simulator platforms for home sim setups, offering realistic course playability and detailed shot data.

This enclosure is changing the game.

Why? Because for years, building a home golf simulator meant one of three things:
• dedicating an entire room
• spending a fortune
• or accepting a setup that looked temporary

The SportScreen Vanish LITE changes that.

It’s a semi-retractable golf enclosure with:
✔️ a lower price point
✔️ easier installation
✔️ less demanding mounting requirements
✔️ a compact footprint for tighter spaces
✔️ premium screen quality that still feels legit

In short: more golfers can finally build the garage golf simulator setup they’ve been dreaming about.

Honestly…this is one of the smartest launches we’ve seen this year. Thoughts? 👇⛳

You could DIY your golf simulator enclosure…
Or you could save yourself the headache. ⛳😅

Listen, we love a good project. But building an enclosure from scratch means measuring, sourcing materials, engineering bounce-back protection, and hoping your setup doesn’t end up looking like a batting cage in your garage.

The good news? Some brands have already done the hard part.

We rounded up 4 of the best golf simulator enclosure kits, whether you want premium, retractable, compact, or something DIY-friendly without going fully DIY.

Which setup are you building? 👇🏌️‍♂️
