CIAGA is a space for golf groups to share rounds, results and friendly banter. This policy sets the rules for content and conduct. It forms part of our Terms of Use.

1. Be respectful

Keep it friendly. Banter is welcome; harassment is not. Treat other members as you would on the course.

2. Content you must not post

You must not upload, post or share content that:

is unlawful, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
is harassing, bullying, threatening, or incites violence or hatred against people based on a protected characteristic;
is defamatory, obscene, pornographic or grossly offensive;
sexualises or endangers children in any way;
infringes someone else's intellectual property or privacy;

4. Reporting content

If you see something that breaks these rules, please report it using the report option on the post or comment in the app. Reports reach the group's administrators and us.
