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.


You didnt include $0.00 :(

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 252: worked on chipping for a while with my chipping net. Worked on low, medium, and high shots. Productive session. 
    • Day 180 - 2025-03-29 Not a long time today, but I got my five minutes in jumping and doing some work on the downswing.
    • I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards. 
    • It kills me to link to Twitter but this is 👀 👀 👀  https://x.com/wiley77/status/1906071723402797059
    • Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
