Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

GolfHubz is an independent golf information site. We are not owned by any equipment manufacturer, golf association, or media conglomerate. Our editorial decisions are guided by one principle: give the reader the answer they came for, backed by evidence, without distractions.

Editorial Independence

We do not accept payment for coverage. Equipment mentions, brand references, and product recommendations are made based on factual specifications and first-hand experience. Affiliate links are used on some pages; they never influence which products we recommend or how we describe them. When an article contains affiliate links, we disclose this clearly.

Content Creation Process

Articles on GolfHubz are produced through a structured research-to-publication pipeline:

  1. Topic identification. We analyze search data to identify questions that golfers are asking and that lack clear, authoritative answers online.
  2. Research. Our team gathers information from primary sources: official PGA Tour and DP World Tour records, USGA and R&A rulebooks, manufacturer technical specifications, peer-reviewed sports science studies, and direct testing where applicable.
  3. Drafting. Writers create an outline and draft structured around the reader’s question. The answer comes first; background follows.
  4. Review. A second team member verifies all factual claims against source documents. Speculation is labeled as such. Statistics are checked.
  5. Publication. The article goes live with a visible last-updated date.
  6. Maintenance. Articles are periodically reviewed. When a rule changes, a spec is updated, or a record is broken, we update the relevant article and note the revision.

Use of AI

GolfHubz uses language models to assist with research summarization and initial drafting. Every AI-assisted draft is reviewed and edited by a human before publication. Facts, statistics, and technical claims are manually verified against primary sources and are not accepted from AI output without confirmation. We believe AI is a useful drafting tool when paired with expert oversight; it is never used as the final authority on any claim.

Corrections

When we discover an error, we correct it immediately, add a dated correction note to the article, and update the last-reviewed timestamp. If you believe an article contains an error, please email [email protected] with the specific claim and your source. We review all correction requests within 48 hours.
