Shotlink not used at AGNC? I wonder why.

With the season's first major upon us, I thought it would be interesting to develop a statistical model to predict the Masters winner. And why not? Netflix predicts movies you might like based on your viewing habits, and online music-streaming station Pandora suggests songs to match your listening habits. Sounds straightforward, right? Unfortunately, ShotLink isn't used at the Masters, so I can't look at Augusta-specific Strokes Gained data to assess how a player will perform there. That means I'm limited to using stats from the PGA Tour season and from past Masters finishes.

PLAYERS MOST LIKELY TO WIN THE MASTERS

(Based on Strokes Gained and previous Masters performances)

1 Adam Scott

2 Rory McIlroy

3 Bubba Watson

4 Matt Kuchar

5 Sergio Garcia

6 Jim Furyk

7 Jason Day

8 Justin Rose

9 Charl Schwartzel

10 Jordan Spieth

I'm sure you can figure out why. They need towers, machinery for accurately positioning things, etc. And the volunteers and people to man them.

I wouldn't have if you didn't tell me. But after looking it up, holy sh*t, it's a logistical monster.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
