Creating Your Player Profile

Creating Your Player Profile

A clear profile is the foundation of the Elevate Golf experience. It tells Coaches who a Player is, what they want to achieve, and how best support can be delivered. Setup is quick, but good information dramatically improves the relevance of the Tips received.

Players provide core details (name, location, age, spoken language). Certain attributes - for example age, gender and body shape - are used by IQ Match™ to display a percentage alignment on Coach profiles. (IQ Match™ does not recommend; Players always choose.)

Mandatory questions then capture golfing background and intent: current skill level, focus areas, preferred Coach profile, and learning preferences (format, style, tone and coaching approach). The more accurate and focused the answers, the more precisely the IQ Match™ alignment reflects the best fit with Coaches.

Optional Advanced Questions add useful context (e.g., 7-iron carry distance, driver clubhead speed, current challenges). These help a Coach calibrate advice to the Player’s capability.

Profiles are private to the Elevate Golf community and visible only to the chosen Coach when requesting a Tip - see the Privacy Policy. Profiles can be updated at any time as goals or focus change. A clear, complete profile ensures every Tip is relevant, personal and aligned to the Player’s journey.
