One of the things I do here in PA is interview various Professionals for my blogs, audio books and articles that  I write.

I am looking to find some different types of questions to ask. And figured why not see what others would ask if

they could interview their favorite Golf Pro.

So what would you like to see ask if you were watching or reading an interview of say a guy like Butch Harmon.

Don't worry about whether you think it's a good one or not. I am looking for some out of the ordinary too.

Thanks to all who help with this in advance. If I decide to publish the interview you will receive a FREE COPY of

the book or video.

If you're looking for technical stuff, I think what the kurisu posted are the best things to ask. I don't know if it's what you're looking for or not, but I would ask what their worst student "horror story" is, and ask what they did about it. I think it would add humor to any interview piece you were doing.

hmmm... maybe one of the questions could be:

"How do you keep up with the development of teaching and education methods? Seminars? Online-Research? Anything?"

The reason I would ask is this:

I've been into education for some time, and during my range sessions I have seen pros, who obviously never heard of any didactic principles, accoding to the way they approach their pupils. Would be interesting to know, who tries to stay up-to-date...

I would like to know if they actually enjoy teaching people who will not get good at the game. I always wondered if my own local club pro enjoys teaching those 60+/people who does not learn fast or if he puts on his gameface and finnish the job asap.

What about any unknown players they've taught who they've thought had potential to go all the way, but for whatever reason just disappeared off the radar.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
