Posting Standards

A Golf Community is a focused environment for enthusiasts of the game. To maintain high-quality discussions, we adhere to the following standards:

Relevant Content

All posts, media, and threads must relate directly to golf, equipment, course design, or clubhouse culture.

Anti-Spam Policy

Commercial solicitation, excessive self-promotion, and repetitive content are strictly prohibited to preserve the organic community feel.

Media Integrity

You must have the rights to any images or videos you share. Misleading or AI-generated content without clear labeling is discouraged.

Intellectual Respect

Credit original authors when sharing insights from golf professionals, architects, or fellow community members.

Community Etiquette

"True character is revealed on the 18th hole — and in our digital clubhouse."

01

Professionalism Above All

Disagreements are inevitable, but they must remain civil. Personal attacks, harassment, or derogatory language toward any member will not be tolerated.
02

Integrity in Action

Do not share confidential tournament information, private clubhouse details, or impersonate other members or PGA professionals.
03

Inclusive Spirit

The game of golf belongs to everyone. We champion an environment free of discrimination based on skill level, background, nationality, or identity.
04

Constructive Criticism

Feedback and differing opinions are welcome. Frame critiques constructively and focus on the topic, not the person.
