With the improvements in modern day technology the yardage on a Golf course is now either calculated with a laser device or with a golf GPS. The laser device used to be the most popular however over the last 2-3 years the GPS has emerged and has been very popular. Years and years ago the distance used to either be paced out or measured with a measuring wheel, and this lead to a lot of innaccuracy.
