These are the official review and posting guidelines ("Posting Guidelines") for www.reviewmygolfpro.com ("Site", "we", "us" or "our") and is a part of our Terms of Use Agreement.  The Site allows user generated feedback on golf professionals and their teaching as well as on the quality of the facilities that they teach in. Pro ratings should only be posted by users who have taken lessons from the pro being rated, regardless of whether those lessons were individual or in a group setting. For each golf professional you have worked with, you are limited to posting one (1) review. Facility ratings should only be posted by users who have actually practiced or played golf at that facility. 

Please review the following guidelines before posting a rating and/or comment on the Site:

DO:

  • Submit helpful comments that mention the Pro's ability to diagnose problems, teach, and/or communicate effectively, as well as what the objective or focus of your lessons may have been.  A lesson focused solely on the short game is very different that one focused on straightening out your driver.
  • Be honest and objective in your comments and ratings of your Pro and their facilities.  As we all know we only get better when we practice what has been taught. Please factor your role in the results from your lessons when reviewing and rating a Pro;
  • Limit your comments to the Pro’s teaching and the work you’ve done together, in other words their professional abilities only;
  • Mention the technology that may have been used or was available, or the lack thereof in your comments as readers are interested to know what was involved in your lessons;
  • Remember that negative comments should be focused on offering constructive criticism or making sure readers know who might or might not be a good fit with the Pro.  Comments that simply bash the Pro on a personal level are not helpful; and
  • Reread your comments before submitting. Poorly written submissions with many misspellings can be discounted by readers;

 

DO NOT:

  • Report a review simply because you do not agree with it
  • Rate yourself or other Pro’s, if you are in fact a teaching Pro yourself;
  • Post a review of a Pro if you have not taken lessons from the Pro you are reviewing;
  • Post a review of a facility that you did not personally use to practice or play golf on;
  • Include any piece of information in a review that may identify you or any other of the pro’s customers in your reviews;
  • Include any piece of identifiable personal information for a Pro that would allow someone to access the Pro outside of his business location and operation.  Avoid any comments about a Pro's family and/or personal life as this will result in your entire review being removed from the site;
  • Rate a Pro more than once;
  • Reference existing comments or comments that have been deleted by our moderators.  Your review should focus solely on YOUR experience with the Pro regardless of whether it is consistent with what others have posted;
  • Post a review or speak in your review on behalf of other people;
  • Post hyperlinks and/or URLs in a review;

 

We reserve the right to remove any comments deemed as inappropriate, libelous, defamatory, indecent, vulgar or obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit or sexually suggestive, racially, culturally, or ethnically offensive, harmful, harassing, intimidating, threatening, hateful, objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive, or that otherwise violate the Terms of Use Agreement. 

COMMENTS THAT CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING WILL BE REMOVED:

  • A language other than English. Comments must be written in English only.

  • Claims that a pro shows bias for or against a particular person or group;
  • Claims about a pro's current or past employment status;
  • Claims that a pro has engaged in illegal activities, or;
  • Accusations that the pro is violating any of our terms and conditions including rating him/herself or his/her colleagues.
