General FAQ
Why does this site exist?
Through personal experience we found that it was not very easy to locate a golf professional that suited individual needs in a specific area.
We then decided to create this site and allow golfers across the world to locate the perfect match for their golf tuition requirements. In doing this, we are providing a mechanism for the golfing professional to advertise the services they offer on the internet. We also allow golfers to “rate” the service received by a golf professional and these ratings can then be drawn on by the user to locate their perfect match.
How does the rating process work?
The calculations for the rating system are done as follows:
- each area is marked out of 10. A score of 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest
- for any summary listings, we multiply the total rating for a particular area by the number of user ratings supplied for that area.
Can I see some examples on the rating process?
Yes – below are 2 examples of the rating system. The first one on a single specific rating area and the second on an overall basis.
Example 1:
- Mr G Professional has had 3 people rate the service received on Bunker play.
- The individual ratings were 6, 8 and 10.
- Mr G Professional now has a rating of 8.0 (6+8+10 = 24, divided by 3) for his Bunker play
Example 2:
- Mr G Professional has had 3 people rate the services received on multiple rating areas
- Mr G Professional was rated 7, 9 and 9 for Bunker play, chipping and putting respectively by user 1
- We then find the overall average of these ratings – 7+9+9, divided by 3 areas of rating = 8.33
- Mr G Professional was rated 7 and 9 for Bunker play and putting respectively by user 2
- We then find the overall average of these ratings – 7 + 9 divided by 2 areas of rating = 8.0.
- The overall rating for Mr G Professional would now be calculated by getting the average score from the number of ratings received
– 8.33 + 8.0, divided by 2 rating sessions = 8.165
