Review Help

This information is designed to help you become familiar with our review process and to help you review your pro consistently with the way others have already reviewed theirs;

Overall Rating

The scores of 4 categories are used to determine the overall rating the pro receives (Game Improvement, Communication Clarity, Value for the Money and Recommendation Ratings).  The recommendation rating receives the most weight in the calculation. The Ease of Schedule ratings and other information gathered are not included in the Overall Rating calculation.  Overall ratings are categorized as follows.  These categories will be searchable in the future:

Great:  4.0-5.0

Good:  3.0-3.9

Fair:     2.0-2.9

Poor:   1.0-1.9

Game Improvement

Did working with this golf pro help improve your game?  Did his teaching when combined with your doing the work he/she suggested result in your game improving?  Please recognize that you should factor in the effort you were willing to put forth after the lesson(s) to improve.

5 = Massive Improvement

1 = No Improvement at All

Clarity

How well does the pro communicate your improvement areas and the drills and techniques necessary to improve?  In short, how well does the pro teach golf? Were you able to understand what he/she was asking you to do and what follow up you should be doing in between lessons?

5 = Crystal Clear Communication

1 = Very Confusing

Value for the Money

Think about how far your dollars go in working with this Pro.  This is not just how much game improvement you see for the dollar spent.  Do you get other added benefits like free range balls and other practice opportunities simply because you are a customer? Does the pro go over the time allotment if you are at a critical point at the end of a lesson?

5 = Incredible Value

1 = Worst Value Ever
