Editorial standards
Useful golf guidance depends on clear responsibility. These standards explain how BirdieYard develops, reviews, corrects, and discloses its editorial work.
Authorship
Every article names the person responsible for the work and explains their relevant role or experience. We do not invent bylines, credentials, or first-hand experience.
Expert review
BirdieYard seeks qualified review when technical instruction, material diagrams, safety, or other consequential claims warrant it. A visible reviewer means a real person completed a substantive review; we do not manufacture review records or use a missing reviewer as an automatic publishing shortcut.
Sources and method
Articles use inline citations to identify the sources that materially support factual claims. We prefer primary sources and explain how work was prepared when methodology context is useful to readers.
Corrections
Material corrections are dated and described on the article. Small spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a correction note. Readers can report a concern at support@birdieyard.com.
Disclosures
Commercial relationships, affiliate considerations, product access, and other relevant conflicts are disclosed where they could affect a reader's interpretation.
Images and diagrams
BirdieYard publishes only media with recorded ownership or permission and useful alt text. Diagrams with material claims state their assumptions and review details. We do not use stock imagery as a substitute for real coach trust signals.
AI-assisted work
AI tools may support research organization, transcription, or editing, but a named person remains responsible for verification, judgment, originality, rights, and final publication approval. BirdieYard does not use AI-generated golf video as editorial proof.
