The People Behind the Work.
ResortGolfer is the work of a small team of editors, instructors, fitters, and researchers — each desk anchored by domain expertise.
Who writes what
Editorial Board
ResortGolfer's editorial board sets the publication's standards, signs off on methodology revisions, and reviews any article that touches a disclosed conflict of interest.
- Independent governance
- Quarterly public corrections review
Instruction Desk
Our instruction content is reviewed by PGA- and LPGA-certified teaching professionals before publication. Drill protocols and biomechanics claims are cross-checked against peer-reviewed motor learning research.
- PGA / LPGA certified review
- Biomechanics literature cross-check
Equipment Desk
Equipment reviews are conducted by Class A fitters working with calibrated TrackMan and GCQuad units. Every score is reviewed by a second editor before publication.
- Class A fitter network
- TrackMan / GCQuad calibrated testing
Travel Desk
Destination guides are written only by editors who have walked the courses they recommend. We do not accept comped travel from tourism boards.
- First-hand course evaluation
- No tourism-board sponsorship
Analytics Desk
Our analytics coverage draws on publicly available PGA Tour ShotLink data, USGA handicap research, and original Monte Carlo modeling. All datasets and assumptions are disclosed in the article footnotes.

- Open methodology
History Desk
History essays are sourced from primary materials — club archives, governing-body records, period publications — rather than aggregated secondary accounts.
- Primary-source research
- Archive cross-referencing
