Write for Us Golf: Golf Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most golf pitches repeat swing tips every magazine already prints. What this blog wants is the working view: how a club manager grew a younger membership, how a coach helps a beginner enjoy the first season, how a business owner uses a round of golf to build client relationships without it feeling like a sales call.

My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers, and golf is where plenty of them relax and meet clients. They already read my guide to golf for beginners, and the cricket guest post guidelines cover another club sport. A golf post has to help them play better, enjoy it more or run a golf business better.

60-second golf guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you coach, play, manage or run a business in golf yourself
• Can you share a real example with what changed and why
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a beginner or a club owner know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one brand, course or academy

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Coaching beginners and keeping them playing
• Running a golf club, course or driving range
• Growing and keeping club membership
• Golf as a place to meet and keep clients
• Equipment explained by how it helps a player, not by brand
• Practice routines for people short on time
• Marketing a golf business or academy
• Course care and sustainability explained simply

If your post could be published on any golf site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in golf posts

These are the golf topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Coaching	How you help a beginner improve and stay with it	Swing tips found in every magazine
Clubs and courses	How you grew, kept or served members	An advert for your club
Business golf	How a round helped a working relationship	Etiquette lists with no story
Equipment	What a player needs and why	A brand by brand product list
Golf businesses	How you market and run an academy, shop or range	Your brochure in paragraphs

What we don't accept

• Swing tip clichés with nothing new
• Equipment round ups written to sell one brand
• Copy lifted from manufacturer or course pages
• Thin posts under 800 words with no first hand experience
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong golf pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about tips to improve your golf swing." A strong one says "I manage a members' club that was losing younger players, and I want to show the three changes that brought them back, the membership numbers before and after, and the idea the committee hated." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Bringing younger members into a club
• A beginner's first season, planned by a coach
• Using golf to build client relationships
• Practice that works in short sessions
• Marketing a golf academy online
• Running a driving range as a small business
• Choosing equipment by what the player needs
• What running a golf business taught you about customers

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept golf guest posts?

Yes. Golf guest posts are welcome from coaches, club managers, players, course owners and golf business founders who can share real experience. We publish practical articles and decline swing tip clichés and brand promotion.

What golf topics do you accept?

Coaching beginners, running a club, course or range, growing membership, golf with clients, equipment explained by player need, practice routines and marketing a golf business. The common thread is a real lesson from playing, teaching or running something in golf.

Do you accept other sports guest posts too?

Yes. Other sports pitches suit their own pages, such as cricket, but every pitch reaches the same editor and the same standards apply.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a golf guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience coaching, playing or running a business in golf. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
