My goal is to provide you with a high quality forum for an open topic golf-related discussion; a forum in which to share golf specific information, experiences, questions and technical advice without the influence of any vendor sponsorship. I respect everyone’s right to express their thoughts and opinions as long as those thoughts and opinions are respectful. If you are found to be in violation of common standards of respect and decency your account will be locked out. Any subsequent accounts or aliases will also be locked out.

This forum is monitored by a volunteer moderator. The Moderator’s job is to help make this forum a more enjoyable place for golfers to visit by monitoring and managing post content. Inappropriate content will be removed and offending members may be suspended or locked out of the forum.

As the welcome statement at the beginning of each forum says, the sharing of thoughts and opinions is encourage so long as they are respectful. Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in the incidence of posts and member interaction which we consider inappropriate. For example, there was a lengthy series of hostile communications on the “FAQ/Greatest Instruction Posts” forum. That entire thread has been removed. Posts provoking or expressing hostility have been removed. Signatures and avators of an offensive or inappropriate nature have been deleted.

The Jim Hardy Golf Forum is like an extension of the golf course as far as behavior is concerned. The Moderator will monitor forum conduct with this analogy in mind. On the course we expect each other to be courteous and respectful. We expect the same sort of conduct on this forum. This isn’t a typical internet free for all. Quite the contrary. If the comments and remarks posted on this forum would be out of place among gentlemen and gentlewomen on the golf course, they are out of place here.

Our strong preference is for the constructive sharing of information, ideas and perspectives on golf. We'd like to see a healthy level of receptivity to different points of view with a bias toward mutual learning rather than adversity and dissension. We'd like to see a friendly, good natured climate, especially on Open Topic threads. But the bottom line is respect. Personal attacks, provocation of hostility (including reciprocation), name calling, discourtesy, obnoxious or offensive behavior -- you get the idea -- all these are not welcome here. The Moderator will enforce these expectations with a bias toward conservatism.
