AI & Affiliate Policy
How The Global Golfer uses AI-assisted tools, protects recommendation integrity and identifies commercial relationships.
Our tools are designed to organise a golfer’s stated needs and surface relevant editorial, service and purchasing routes—not to disguise advertising as independent advice.
How AI-assisted recommendations work
Current tools use the information a visitor chooses to provide—such as destination, handicap, playing priorities, equipment or recovery needs—to structure a shortlist or practice brief. Where no suitable verified match exists, the tool should retain the stated constraint rather than silently substitute an unrelated result.
Editorial evidence first
Recommendations should draw on relevant TGG editorial, structured listings and approved data before presenting a commercial route.
Commercial labels
Affiliate, sponsored and partner placements are identified. Commercial availability does not determine editorial ranking.
Data restraint
We ask only for information needed to provide the requested journey. Optional learning or marketing permissions must remain separate.
Human escalation
Complex bookings, medical concerns, pain and specialist equipment decisions should be handed to an appropriate professional.
Affiliate links
Some links may earn Van der Meulen Collection Limited a commission when a purchase or booking is completed. The visitor’s price should not increase because an affiliate link is used. Merchant availability, prices and terms can change after publication.
Limits and corrections
AI-assisted output can be incomplete and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, professional club fitting or confirmation of live travel availability. We review material problems and welcome corrections where a route, claim or recommendation is no longer accurate.
Question a recommendation or disclosure
