Editorial Standards

Every guide on Playing the Back Nine follows the same standards.

Research

• Health information comes from public health agencies, medical institutions and peer-reviewed sources. We list the main sources at the end of each health article.
• We describe what is known in plain language, and we say so when the evidence is limited.

Writing

• No scare tactics, no miracle language, no promises about results.
• Every health guide says clearly when something needs a doctor rather than a new habit.
• We don't name or promote products in our guides. Our guides and any promotional pages are kept separate.

Review and updates

Guides are reviewed when sources change and at least once a year. The date at the top of each article shows when it was last published or updated.

Corrections

If you spot an error, tell us through our contact page. We fix confirmed errors promptly and note significant corrections.
