Mark Broadie looking at the numbers on Augusta National,

Mark Broadie looks at the stats and compares how hard Augusta National's greens are compared to regular PGA Tour events.

 

  Quote

From all of this data, it becomes much easier to decipher what it takes to win the Green Jacket: Dominating approach shots and putting for the week and managing additional gains on the field in driving and the short game, making ANGC , statistically, like any other course. From 2015 to 2018, the top 5 players each year gained—surprise!—an average of 30 percent of their strokes in approach shots, 30 percent in putting, 20 percent in driving, and 20 percent in the short game.

I feel like this is typical for most tournaments. Maybe it's more evident at Augusta.

Don’t you think SG from putting would be a higher number at ANGC than courses with ‘easier greens’?

I’m treading in unfamiliar water here so bear with me. It seems that 30% SG from Approach and 30% from Putting would be those numbers because if you’re putting well on a course with difficult greens you’re leaving the pack.  If 10 players all have an 8’ putt at ANGC you may see 4 of them make it. But 10 players with an 8’ at a flatter, softer course you may see 6 make it. So you’re gaining more strokes in the field if you putt well on a course that is giving more players a hard time at the green. 

Does this make any sense at all? I completely admit I’m sub-moronic when it comes to statistics.

I managed to download it from the stream. It's 7.12 GB. But it has some weird parts even later in the coverage where it says "Live Coverage Will Begin Shortly." Maybe those were the few commercials.

I believe I managed to get it at 1280 x 720 all the way through.

Not trying to be a jerk, but please have the moderators remove the apostrophe from your title. You're obviously a fan of this major and I'm sure it wasn't intentional. The MASTERS deserves to be treated with reverence by all of us.

I don't care much about the reverence thing, but that apostrophe did have to go.

    • Yeah I've been trying to weaken that hand (at the time I was also consciously trying to match clubface to spine)   I've found though weakening that hand kind of exacerbates the hook, I'm guessing a compensation from somewhere else creeps in 🤷🏻‍♂️   I've mentioned in my grip post that when I take my grip at address it is square, but if I stand up out of address and relax my arms it holds the hell out of the club, I have a lesson Tuesday hopefully to help but I just can't fathom why soft arms would hood the club, I would of thought it would open it 🤣
    • Day 6 - Full iron swings; focus was backswing speed and whipping my hands at the ball at impact. 
    • Day 258: did a stack session. 
    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
