About the Author

Since 1932, the Darrell Survey has observed the equipment used by professional golfers at tournaments and reported its findings to golf manufacturers.

Currently, the Darrell Survey covers more than 200 tournaments each season on the PGA, Senior, LPGA and Buy.com Tours, the Japan Tour and the British Open. At the opening tee on the first day of play, a surveyor inspects the bag of every player, reporting on usage of clubs, balls, shirts, shoes, spikes, shafts, grips and headgear.

The Darrell Survey has also performed extensive consumer research over the last 20 years, visiting public and private golf courses around the country to observe what recreational golfers are using and to ask them what they think about it.

With the Almanac, the Darrell Survey presents a yearly summary of consumer and professional-tour data. The statistics that golf manufacturers have relied upon for decades are now available for golf enthusiasts everywhere.
