Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

[Jennifer_Golfs]

Hi,

I was looking for a fun womens league .golf domain name and out of curiosity went to LPGA.golf and to my surprise I saw that it was obviously already taken but oddly not in use ??

Questions:

• If I made an offer for LPGA.golf and the owner accepted my very low budget offer, would I be able to use that domain name or not because there is an established golf group that uses that acronym?
• Is ".golf" fun or do you think it would be confusing for my ladies if I sent them them a new url using .golf?
• Share your best name idea for a womens league .golf event link 🙂

Thanx

I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically:

5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web

At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com

The court found in favor of Hasbro, pointing out that they had held the trademark on Candy Land since 1951. They also raised the minor detail that a reasonable person might expect to find something much more innocent at a domain associated with a children’s game.

You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win.

As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
