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.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
