Using the Revolutionary Strokes-Gained Statistics to Improve Golf Performance and Strategy
tatistics have always played a part in the analysis of golf and its golfers. They allow comparisons to be made
between individuals with all their varied characteristics, abilities and experiences, enabling a golf coach to use those statistics to drive action. The amount of information and number
of statistics/metrics available to the Professional coach has never been greater – in fact, many argue that there is too much information out there that does not answer the questions people really want to know about.
This is something that Columbia Business
School, Carson Family Professor of Business and keen golfer, Mark Broadie, saw as being fundamental to his groundbreaking research in the past 10 years. Current statistics and metrics are good but lack the capability in many cases to relate to other metrics. In response to this he developed a system that allows all the elements of the game to be compared to each other – Strokes Gained.
In his book, ‘Every Shot Counts’, Broadie
explores his Strokes-Gained metric that has entered the public consciousness through use of Strokes Gained - Putting on the PGA Tour, and the overall research that has led to a fundamental change in our understanding of how important the different areas of the game are.
