From asking <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2010\/12\/throw-throw-throw-your-club-like-a-hole.html\">how often you throw your clubs<\/a> (2010) to answering the question &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2011\/09\/is-golf-sport.html\">is golf a sport<\/a>&#8221; (2011), we have started some interesting debates!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Well, in 2012 we posed a whole new set of golf-related questions and the results from five of those polls are below. See how golfers voted:<\/p>\n<p>In November of 2012, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.golfstinks.com\/blog\/gregdandrea\">Stinky Golfer Greg<\/a> announced his irons were getting on in age&#8230;8 seasons on to be exact. Was that too long? He wanted to know <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/11\/poll-how-often-do-you-get-new-clubs.html\">how often you get new clubs<\/a>. Well, 30% of you get new sticks every 4-5 years, while 23% get them every 2-3 years. No one said they got new clubs every year, but 45% wait at least 6 years or longer (in fact, 15% hang on to the same set for 10 years or more)! I guess Greg has a couple more years to go!<\/p>\n<p>Around the same time the golfing world was debating the new belly putter rule, we wanted to know if the <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/11\/poll-does-type-of-putter-matter.html\">type of putter really matters<\/a> from a technical stand point, or is putter style a matter of personal taste? Well, 40% of you said the type of putter one uses doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; if you practice, you can putt with any of them! On the other hand, 31% said the technology and design of putters does make a difference in putting ability. Meanwhile, 28% claimed that while all putters are basically the same, the look and feel of a putter can make a mental difference while putting. Hmm, very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Back in June, we wanted to know <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/poll-how-much-were-your-golf-clubs.html\">how much you spend on a set of irons<\/a>. This was a tight race, but edging all the others was the price range of $300-$600 (32%). Nearly as many of you (29%) are frugal and spend less than $300 on your clubs. But almost as many (27%) have deeper pockets and spend between $601-$900! Finally, while only 2% of you spend between $901-$1,200, 8% spend over $1,200! Anyway, it looks like $600 or less is the happy zone for most golfers.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, we asked you <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/12\/poll-how-many-rounds-do-you-play.html\">how many rounds of golf you play in a season<\/a>. Well, 35% said they play between 26-50 rounds annually, while 27% play between 10-25 times a year. Meanwhile, 10% play between 51-75 times and 16% play between 76-100 times annually. Just 8% play less than 10 times a year but only 2% play over 100 rounds in a season. On a side note, <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/12\/is-golf-industry-improving-economically.html\">the number of rounds per year in the U.S. has actually been going up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our final poll was from last May and asked golfers <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/05\/poll-how-many-balls-do-you-lose-per.html\">how many balls they lose (on average) per round<\/a>. The majority of you (51%) admit to losing 1 sleeve or 3 balls per round! Twelve percent of you are good enough (or are good enough liars) to not lose any! How about 2 sleeves (6 balls)? That would be 28% of you! Three sleeves (9 balls)??? Yep &#8211; 6% of you! One entire box of 12 balls???? Just 1% of you. No wonder golf balls are the <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2012\/04\/things-we-lose-on-golf-course.html\">number one thing left behind at the golf course<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>We at GolfStinks sure are looking forward to the 2013 polls!
