I'm having trouble picturing a big ass war golem that doesn't have enough DR to reliably absorb its own Slams, unless it's made out of wicker or something. It would only receive a couple of points from the Slam, not the full extra follow-up damage with doubled knockback, bear in mind. Fatigue seems like a strange fit for golems as well (I usually apply the Machine metatrait), and it would seem kind of odd if a Slam from a being of equal mass and velocity could damage it but its own Slams could not in an identical collision.
