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.
