If a Treasure Map gets pulled on your Golem, do you have to trash it or can you "play it" by just keeping it in front of you?

You have to trash it. Playing your Golem cards is not optional and if you "play" Treasure Map you must do what it says.

You don't ignore a card's clear text just because the outcome is unpleasant. You pull a TM with Golem, you play it. Then you trash it. Then you trash one from your hand, if you have one. If you trashed one from your hand, you gain the 4 gold on your deck.

Well, I didn't find it 100% clear, because it says "Trash this and another copy of Treasure Map from your hand." The question was if you don't have one in your hand, do you do the instructions partially or not at all. I believe your interpretation is correct though... typically you follow a card's instructions as much as possible, when it can't be completely done.

I can see how someone just getting into the game might not think it necessary to trash TM if you can't pay the whole cost, but I'm pretty sure the Seaside rules cover this situation (and if needed the Alchemy rules probably cover Golem), so there's really no excuse for asking this. ...Unless you just wanted to chat a bit with some dear friends. Then I will forgive you.

No need to depend on the word of someone online:
Seaside card descriptions wrote: Treasure Map - You can play this without another Treasure Map in your hand; if you do, you trash this and gain nothing.

Delete the word "typically" and you have a general Dominion rule.

One of my most embarrassing Dominion moments:
"Hmm. This setup has both Treasure Map and Golem. Hmm..."
"I know! I'll buy two Treasure Maps and a Golem, and no other action cards. Then when I play the Golem, I'll be certain to get both of my Treasure Maps! I'm such a genius."
(A couple of minutes later...)
"Wait, so now I have to trash each of these Treasure Maps separately? I'm such an idiot."

If you pull a Treasure Map with a Golem as well as an acion that allows you to draw other cards (such as a Wharf or Council Room), you could always play the other action before Treasure Map. That way, if you draw a second map, you can take full advantage of the first. On the other hand, if you already have a second map in your hand, you can play the other action after Treasure Map to draw some Gold immediately.
