Questionnaire

  • Welcome to your personalized golf lesson. Feel free to put as much information in the “Comments” section as you'd like. It's critical for me to know what your golf BALL is doing or not doing. (topped along the ground, spinning left/right, shanked etc etc) Further, it's critical to know what YOU are CONSCIOUSLY TRYING to do (or not do) when you swing a golf club. For the purpose of simplicity and percentages, this questionnaire shall be read from a right-handed golfer's perspective. If you are left-handed, please replace the word "right" with the word "left" when reading or answering. My apologies.

  • I am MOST interested in improving my: (choose just one)
  • I am a _______ golfer.
  • I've been told that I have a good practice swing, but can't seem to make the same swing when hitting the ball.

  • The Country I live in is .
    The City/Town and State I live in is .

  • When hitting my driver, my shots often START their flight LEFT or straight and then curve right. (lacking distance). Occasionally, a shot will go powerfully low and LEFT with no curve.
  • When hitting my driver, my shots often START their flight RIGHT and then curve left. (lacking distance). Further, a percentage of drives will go powerfully to the RIGHT with little or no curve.
  • When hitting ANY club, my shots often START their flight STRAIGHT and then curve LEFT.
  • When hitting my driver, my shots often START their flight STRAIGHT and then curve RIGHT.
  • With my IRONS I am often questioning if I am standing too close or too far from the ball and/or where to position the ball in my stance. (near left foot, near center of stance, near right foot)
  • If I go to the driving range and all of the rubber tees are the same height, I'd rather these tees be 1/4" inch ________ than my ideal (preferred) tee height.
  • I rarely, if ever, make a divot left (target-side of the ball) with my irons on the golf course.
  • It concerns me that I can't seem to "get weight to my left side" in my downswing and finish. (I keep 'falling back onto my right foot')
  • My "full swing" short iron shots often fly very high AND my long iron shots often fly too low. (and don't land soft enough on the green)
  • Sometimes my drives will "sky pop" straight up in the air, lacking distance. (even when my tee height has remained unchanged)
  • I find it surprising that I can hit my driver a good distance but can't seem to hit my pitching/sand wedge proportionate to the distance I hit my driver.
  • When hitting my driver, my balls often START their flight to the RIGHT and are hit powerfully with little or no curve. Further, I sometimes hit 7 & 8 irons that start relatively straight but curve sharply to the left. (and miss the green)
  • Which condition do you struggle MORE with? (when 125 or more yds from the green)
  • The iron shots that feel good (ball feels soft and compressed) often go left. Further, the iron shots that go straight feel hard on my hands. (that is, they are somewhat 'thin' shots and don't fly high enough)
  • When hitting my driver, my balls often START their flight RIGHT and then curve further right.
  • I've been told by friends to 'keep my head down' but I am still inconsistent when I try to do this.
  • I tend to hit many of my shots off the ____ of the clubface.
  • The "toe" shots that I hit:
  • The instruction that I've heard online (YouTube, Instagram etc) seems contradictory. (that is, I hear one tip but then hear another that tells the opposite)
  • I feel that I swing with "all arms" and thus I don't use my body enough.
  • The shots I hit with my driver fly too LOW and I opt for another club because of this.
  • I sometimes or often hit the top of the ball and the ball goes ___________.
  • If I had my choice for my 2nd shot on a par 4 hole, I'd rather my ball sit 3/4" off the ground. (instead of very very close to the ground in a 'tight' lie)
  • During my swing, I try to make a conscious and concerted effort to: (select up to 3)
  • The one (1) shot that frustrates me THE MOST is: (next question will ask for the 2nd Most)
  • The one(1) golf shot that frustrates me the SECOND MOST is:
  • (Please Choose one) Which of these MORE closely describes your IRON game:
  • (Please Choose one) Which of these MORE closely describes your DRIVER game:
  • Should be Empty:
