Seattle Golf Club

I removed the following sentence, which I am sure is false. "Seattle Golf Club, the Highlands sister club, has fewer than 1% POC membership."

Seattle Golf Club is not a "sister club" to the Highlands. The Highlands isn't even a club.
While I don't know the exact percentage of POC membership of the Seattle Golf Club, it is certainly considerably higher than 1%. The claim here of 1% was entirely uncited. I don't offhand know where you could get a citation for a number -- "POC" is not a precisely-defined term -- but I'm confident that by any plausible definition this is low.

I left in the claim that the Highlands itself is 5% POC, but that (and the entire paragraph it is in) really ought to be cited. - Jmabel | Talk 19:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I now see that both of these percentage claims were inserted recently and anonymously, so I have no way to ping the person who made the "5%" claim and ask directly for a citation. I'll allow at least 5 days for someone to cite for that, but if not I'm removing it. The false claim about the golf club casts strong doubt on another statement from the same person. - Jmabel | Talk 19:34, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
