Affiliate Disclosure

Halfway House is supported by our readers. When you click through links on our site and make a purchase from one of our retail partners, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our Recommendations Are Independent

Our product recommendations are based on independent research, manufacturer specifications, hands-on testing where possible, the configuration you provide through our build configurator, and synthesized analysis from credible third-party reviewers including Breaking Eighty, MyGolfSpy, Practical Golf, Top Shelf Golf, Home Performance Lab, Golf Simulator Videos, and active community discussions on r/Golfsimulator and the Golf Simulator Forum.

Commission rates do not influence which products we recommend. We sometimes link to multiple retailers for the same product so you can choose the seller you prefer based on price, service, or shipping options.

We are not paid by manufacturers (SkyTrak, Foresight, Uneekor, Garmin, Bushnell, FlightScope, Rapsodo, Square Golf, BenQ, Optoma, Carl's Place, Net Return, TrueStrike, Fiberbuilt, NZXT, Beelink, GSPro, E6, or any other) for our recommendations or content. Our affiliate relationships are with retailers, who set their own commission rates.

Our Retail Partners

We participate in affiliate programs with the following retailers. This list will be updated as our partnerships grow:

Golf-specialty retailers:

• Carl's Place
• Shop Indoor Golf
• PlayBetter
• Indoor Golf Outlet
• Golf Simulators Direct
• The Indoor Golf Shop

Tech retailers (for projectors, computers, accessories):

• Amazon Associates
• B&H Photo Video
• Newegg
• Lenovo (selectively)
• NZXT (selectively)

Where multiple retailers carry the same product, we typically default to the one with the best combination of price, service, and stock reliability for that specific item.

How Commissions Work

When you click an outbound link to one of our retail partners, your visit is tracked via a cookie placed by that retailer. If you make a purchase within the cookie window (typically 24 hours to 60 days, depending on the retailer), the retailer credits us with a commission — usually a percentage of the sale, ranging from 1% to 15% depending on the product and retailer.

This process is invisible to you. The price you pay is the same whether you click our link or visit the retailer directly. The cookie does not track your personal information beyond the commission attribution.

If you prefer to support us, clicking through our links costs you nothing and helps keep the site running. If you'd rather not, that's entirely your choice — we will continue providing the same recommendations regardless.

Disclosure Visibility

In addition to this dedicated page, you'll find affiliate disclosure language:

• In the footer of every page on the site
• At the top of every article that contains affiliate links
• On every configurator results page
• On every product comparison and component detail page

This is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and the Canadian Competition Bureau's guidance on online advertising. We comply with both because they are reasonable requirements that protect you, the reader.

Honest Limitations

We want to be upfront about what these affiliate relationships mean and don't mean:

They mean we have a financial incentive to recommend products you might purchase. We mitigate this by recommending across the full price spectrum (including budget options that earn us less commission) and by suggesting the right product for your situation rather than the most expensive one.

They do not mean we are paid to write positive reviews. We have no exclusivity agreements with any manufacturer or retailer, and we will recommend (or not recommend) products based on what fits your situation.

Be skeptical of any affiliate site (including ours) that only ever recommends the most expensive options or that never says anything negative about a product. That's a signal of compromised judgment.

Questions

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, our methodology, or specific recommendations, reach out at hello@halfwayhouse.golf. We will respond honestly.
