I can't remember where I read this but it seems like there was an article written about Clampett years ago. I think it was his college coach who was quoted as saying that Clampett would hit something like 20-30 balls in an hour during their range practice time. It sounded like he was trying to be very precise with his "machine setup" before he would hit even a practice ball.
I may have the exact numbers wrong, but it was an incredibly small number of "bhpm" (balls hit per minute) when compared to the average golfer and the average touring pro for that matter.
Try to make the questions as precise as possible so there isn't much ambiguity in responses.
Try to cover all the bases. In most cases, you can't cover every scenerio but 80/20 rule is good enough for most polls.
Try to keep the options around 5 to get the best statistical results. Not many people participate in polls so if you can get a grouping above 20 that would provide a good statistical baseline.
Sample - How often do you practice at the range?
At least once daily - sometimes more
At Least 3 times per week
Once per week
1 to 3 times per month
A few times a year
Never except to warm up before play
The problem with the poll above is that during the warm weather season, the answers will be more frequent. So the results may vary depending on when the poll was taken.
There is an option when you start a new thread to make it a polling thread. If you have any questions let Bambam or me know.
