Morning all
As I posted yesterday you need to be very careful whe posting material accusing or suggesting cheating that names anyone or gives information whereby they could by easily identified. Accusstions like this are incredibly difficult to prove and there have been examples of people taking legal action against those who have made the accusations
I'm sure you'd all rather be spending your hard earned cash on new golf kit rather than lawyers so please make sure you post with the above in mind
Going forward mods and admin will pull anything that sails even moderately close to the wind
Thanks
Mike
 
Understandable, when it gets close to naming names. However, is it a subject that has been covered in the magazine before, or could be covered again, without mentioning particular events? I think it is a very pertinent subject.
 
As long as there are no specifics I can't see a problem. (i.e. no names or clubs etc.)
Yep, totally agree, although "proven" cases could be mentioned, but without specific comps, courses, individuals being mentioned. I also think it would be a subject that all readers would read, and not miss out or gloss over.
