Social Media Policy

Background:
ForeGals Golf is dedicated to fostering an engaging social media environment to promote the Club's brand, members, and events, all while cultivating a positive and inclusive atmosphere.

When individuals publicly associate themselves with ForeGals, they are expected to conduct themselves appropriately, aligning with ForeGals Golf values and policies. Any content or behavior on a member's social media accounts that could be deemed disrespectful, dishonest, offensive, harassing, or damaging to the interests, image, and reputation of ForeGals Golf is strictly prohibited.

Scope:
This policy encompasses all forms of social media and is applicable to all ForeGals Golf Members. It doesn't extend to personal use of social media when the member is not identifiable as a ForeGals Golf Member or when making no reference to ForeGals Golf or matters related to ForeGals Golf.
