I was cleaning up my inbox when I came across an old email from Survey Monkey. In full on Homer Simpson fashion I let out my “DOH!” and logged back in to the site.
At the time I was really pumped up about this survey. I was curious as hell to see if there were people out there like me playing yardages that we probably shouldn’t be playing from.I would have like to have gotten around a 100 participants but half that is still some results that are fun to look at. So here they are:
Quesition 1: Male or Female
- Male – 98.04% (50)
- Female – 1.96%(1)

Quesiton 2: What is your age?
- 35 to 44 – 35.29% (18)
- 25 to 34 – 25.49% (13)
- 55 to 64 – 17.65% (9)
- 45 to 54 – 15.69% (8)
- 65 to 74 – 3.92% (2)
- 18 & Under – 1.96% (1)

Question 3: What is your Handicap?
- 10.0 to 12.9 – 25.49% (13)
- 7.0 to 9.9 – 21.57% (11)
- 19.0 to 21.9 – 13.73% (7)
- 22.0 to 24.9 – 7.84% (4)
- 16.0 to 18.9 – 7.84% (4)
- 4.0 to 6.9 – 7.84% (4)
- 25.0 & Above – 3.92% (2)
- 13.0 to 15.9 – 3.92% (2)
- 0.0 to 3.9 – 3.92% (2)
- Scratch or Better – 3.992% (2)

Question 4: What Yardage do you typically play from?
- 6,000 to 6,200 – 21.57% (11)
- 6,400 to 6,600 – 17.65% (9)
- 6,800 to 7,000 – 15.69% (8)
- 6,200 to 6,400 – 15.69% (8)
- 6,600 to 6,800 – 13.73% (7)
- 5,800 to 6,000 – 9.80% (5)
- 5,800 and below – 3.92% (2)
- 7,000 and above – 1.96% (1)

I might try this again at a later date. The results were a little surprising in some facets but not so much in others. I’ve found a couple other survey sites that run their software more effectively than Survey Monkey did.
If you partook in the survey, thank you very much I really appreciate it.
