@DataGolf do you have an analysis on the distribution of approach shot distances over time?

With all the roll back debate, curious if the distribution of approach shots has changed for average tour events, and how those compare to ANGC. Top 10 vs top 100 players?

@DKThomp Here is the early/mid career equivalent:

@DKThomp Where did you get the data for recent graduate unemployment? I look here and just don't see that same takeaway:

Not showing up yet in the UR if you look specifically at college graduates 20-24 years old.

It feel inevitable for sure! But it’s not in the numbers yet.

@MWPutters Indeed I believe we have allowed ourselves to be lost children of golf’s greater era

To be clear, some media are genuinely fantastic and do add a lot of value for the player/players at large.

Many, however, absolutely do not add more than they take.

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

I wish golf media would ask themselves the following question and earnestly try to answer it:

“What value do I bring to this player interaction, and is that more or less than the value I get from this interaction?”

I think players skipping media will make more sense to you.

Goodness this is a profoundly bad take.

Proposing others use a massive waste of resources to prevent something that is a non-issue.

But don’t worry dear reader, none of the inconvenience of this proposal would burden the guy actually suggesting it.

Just test everyone’s driver on the first tee and none of this is an issue

I love-hate this idea

there should a draft of 30-34 year old men and women who get paid 200k a year or more except they have to serve as civil servants in their state, local, or national goverments

@E0M Asked o3 to generate 10 questions that I should be asking but am probably overlooking… extremely underwhelmed.

So yeah, for now at least generating good questions is still a bottleneck. Completely agree.

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

Great question, terrible answers.

TFP is an econometric exercise and relies on imperfect measures like output and human capital.

Here's o3 breaking down some potential explanations, and how they would mechanically show up in the estimates:

@Jablowme28 @GolfDigest *taylor gooch not in the field

Amazing they forgot to mention that.

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@SteveHelwagen @ANTIFAldo 25 years is probably aggressive, but yeah still some good newer courses out there. Erin hills, Brandon, Sand hill (30 years), etc. I’m sure there are others.

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@HankHaney Bro not everything has to be a cyclical gotcha moment!

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@ANTIFAldo Chat can we make this happen?? New head of PGA seems super open minded 🙄

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@ANTIFAldo I’ve said it before - they should only go to courses less than 25 years old.

Basically stake a flag in it before the US Open is willing to. Showcase the best new venues in the US.

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@mcelvy @jtedscott @PGATOUR @ColtKnost @chambleebrandel Per USGA, little known rule 4.3 subsection C limits the total volume of facial hair per player.

Many interpretations of the rule consider the player to be the player plus caddy team.

The more you know!

@MidwestGolfJake This is the kind of niche take with no obvious audience you get if you follow my account by the way

[jimi-h-index @jimi_index]

@MidwestGolfJake This amounts to a causal inference problem where you are violating the “random assignment to the treated group” assumption.

If they weren’t so loud it’s be a forgivable mistake.

That had to be a typo next to tiger, right?
