Corrections Policy

How to report a factual error and how corrections, clarifications and updates are handled.

We review credible reports of factual errors and correct verified material mistakes in published golf equipment coverage. A correction is intended to make the published information more accurate, not simply to satisfy a request for different wording.

Possible Outcomes

Correction

A correction addresses a materially wrong statement, calculation, identification, or description. Where useful, the article explains the error and what changed.

Clarification

A clarification adds context or removes possible misunderstanding without necessarily changing an originally accurate fact.

Update

An update records new information, such as a firmware release, pricing change, revised equipment rule, or new research. An update is not automatically a correction.

Minor Edit

Grammar, spelling, formatting and typographical changes that do not affect substance need not receive separate notices.

How We Decide

The editor assesses the evidence and significance of the issue. Corrections rely on factual verification, not advertiser pressure, commercial requests or simple disagreement with a reasoned assessment. Where testing or data is disputed, methodological comparability matters. A request may concern a factual error, missing context, a later change in product information or a difference of opinion. These issues are not interchangeable and may call for different explanations.

Transparency and Timing

We do not promise a fixed response or correction deadline. Serious verified errors should be addressed appropriately, and material changes may be marked where supported by the publishing system. Readers can continue to challenge the accuracy of an article after publication. A corrected figure should remain intelligible in the surrounding comparison; changing the number without checking its associated conclusion can leave an article misleading.
