By looking at two years only, 21 years apart, it is impossible to appreciate the full picture and very easy to jump to the wrong conclusions.

Data in golf is hugely valuable but it needs to be used properly.

@chambleebrandel There is an improvement trend (slight) in overall putting on the PGA Tour over the last 20 years even including (and despite) the anomalies in 2013 and 2021. Going back one year (or more) before 2006 is to totally skew the picture.

@jamierkennedy Fraserburgh. Just a fantastic golf course and the oldest in the world that retains it's original name (1777).

Great point. Probably the best drama series I've ever seen and thank you to a good friend for recommending it. Harrowing but compelling viewing. So many important themes.

I’m still thinking about #Adolescence this morning. Ep 3 was so impactful but no-one’s talking about the guard who kept following Briony around, bothering her, whilst she’s trying to do her job. Another example of intimidating male behaviour that is so subtle it gets ignored.

@JamesMelville He was actually 8 or 9 when he performed this. Not that it's hugely significant. Thank you very much for finding and sharing 👍🏻

This was 10 days ago (pic from the Goose). Above was last Friday. Depending on the weather, they take on different light ❤️

By the way, just like there are so many Scots who haven't visited the Kelpies yet, there are too many who haven't seen Do the Right Thing. Good souls need good nutrition.

Like For Sama, this is a must-watch. Then we must act. There is a choice to be made about which humanity we wish to prevail. Truth over lies. Peace over war. Spike's Raheem did it best; Hate ko'ed by Love

@jonsopel @JonathanPieNews @POTUS Context. Trump didn't mean Ukraine started the war. He meant they could've ended it (by negotiating) and should never have started begging for money to prolong war. If we take Trump and his sycophants literally, we are as foolish as him/them.

@Chr15Wilkinson @NUCLRGOLF Sounds like you got it at its most penal. It was lost balls a yard off the fairways 25 years ago at the Jubilee in St A! Having been at most of the Lytham Trophy's this century and the Walker Cup, I know the course inside out and I love it. All just opinions!

[Graeme Leslie @GolfDataLab]

@Chr15Wilkinson @NUCLRGOLF Correct. The toughest, and the best course I've ever experienced.

Carnoustie not in the top 25 of toughest in Scotland but my favourite in this country

[Graeme Leslie @GolfDataLab]

@LouStagner It depends on whether it's being measured on the course in competition or measured on the practise green

[Graeme Leslie @GolfDataLab]

@padraig_h They went down a dead end when they unearthed a 1968 concept and misinterpreted it by advocating bomb and gouge. Putting is a crucial skill, as indeed they all are in golf. Confusing scoring data with performance data is just silly. On yersel Padraig 👍🏻

[Graeme Leslie @GolfDataLab]

@mgwp1 One pro client increased fairways hit by just over 12% this year v. 2023. It was a strategic objective. He reduced his use of his Driver from 10.9 times per round to 9.1 per Rd. He earned almost 8 times as much money this year so yes, not insignificant 👍🏻

[Graeme Leslie @GolfDataLab]

It's not misleading. It's a measure of how many fairways you hit.

Just as "Fairways & Semi" gives you another benchmark percentage.

The "destructive drive frequency" is another indicator.

Context and framework is all.

In most things.

[Jon Sherman @practicalgolf]

Fairways hit is a misleading statistic.

Let me show you two better stats to track to make it simpler 👇
