Over the past year or so, I've covered a lot in The Numbers Game. Driving distance, the 40-30-20-10 rule, all were fun to research and write about. Next year, someone else will take the reins and still have plenty of numbers to look at.

A couple of readers chimed in on the 40-30-20-10 rule and had some interesting thoughts. In answering them, it helps explain, define and prove why I set it up the way I did.

This year's Senior PGA Championship made me think about how the last major tour would stand up to the 40-30-20-10 rule. It turns out that it fits just as good - or even better - than the PGA and LPGA Tours.

It would be great to see these overlayed with the stuff from the PGA Tour and perhaps even the Nationwide Tour (or maybe add in the Nationwide vs. the PGA). I would love to see how well the different tours and sexes stack up against another.

I applied it to the Tour Championship last year in my first article about it.

It's hard to collect the data for a tournament because they only post rankings in those stats in the individual player's bio...not like the regular stats page the PGA Tour provides. It makes compiling stats by tournament a nighmare. Even doing the Tour Championship for 30+ players was tedious and time consuming. I'm going to try and do my best though.

Dave: Great work on the numbers. Guess we all need to work on our putting and iron play.

Have you looked at the 40-30-20-10 rule and how it fits only with major championships? I wonder if driving accuracy becomes more important on those course setups.
