Course Management! Platz-Strategie! Heute geht´s in Tee Time um Entscheidungen, Statistiken und das wirklich Wichtige auf dem Platz. Wie sehen eigentlich die Top5 Regeln von Tiger Woods in Sachen Strategie aus? Welche Gedanken sollte man sich mal machen und welche Tricks gibt es?

In this episode of College Golf Talk, Steve Burkowski and Brentley Romine have a ton of results to get to. On the women's side, Arizona State wins the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, which was tightly contested on both the team and individual leaderboards. Wake Forest is banged up, too, but the Deacs still moved to No. 1 – even after Stanford won a tournament. Though as Brentley points out, it's likely due to an input error. The rankings issues persist throughout the episode, including during the Cabo portion, where Michael Thorbjornsen of Stanford is now No. 3 after his win in Mexico. The Arizona State men bounce back, Vandy struggles, and down in Pinehurst, Auburn flexes its muscles as perhaps the best team in the country right now. Brentley then sits down with Tigers freshman Jackson Koivun, who has an argument as not only the best freshman in college golf but also best player.

The Official Disc Golf World Rankings launched just in time for the 2024 pro touring season. It's been an ongoing project for a number of dedicated people inside- and outside-of the PDGA. Here, Grant and Jen welcome Mark Broadie of SportEdge – the team behind the current iteration of the Official World Golf Ranking (and the "stokes gained" statistic). Mark tells us how those experiences with "ball golf" stats related (or not) to creating a ranking system for disc golf.

In the first episode of the new year, Steve Burkowski and Brentley Romine welcome on Alabama head coach Jay Seawell. Seawell takes the guys inside Nick Dunlap's whirlwind and historic last two weeks, his decision and why he believes success will continue. He then shares a great Nick Saban story before Burko and Brentley say goodbye and break down a couple news items – Caleb Surratt joining LIV and Brentley's recap of December's coaches convention.

In this final episode of College Golf Talk for 2023, Steve Burkowski and Brentley Romine recap the fall season and signing day before offering their reactions to the first NCAA golf rankings created by Mark Broadie.

Scott Fawcett (@scottfawcett) is the creator of the DECADE golf system and he has coached Will Zalatoris, Stewart Cink, Keith Mitchell, and many others. In the first hour, we do a deep dive into golf analytics. He describes his career in professional golf, his early discovery of the PGA Tour's Shotlink Data and Mark Broadie's Strokes Gained Metric, his development of the DECADE system, and his experience coaching PGA players. At the one hour and three minute mark, we are joined by David Epstein (@DavidEpstein), author of the bestselling books Range and The Sports Gene. The three of us discuss talent in sports, similarities between golf and poker, "tilt" in golf and poker, the history of game theory in poker, and the emotional make-up of poker players.

Sobald die Tage kürzer werden, lese ich noch mehr als sonst schon auch. Daher war ich wirklich glücklich darüber, dass mir der Teilzeitgolfer das Buch "Every Shot Counts" von Mark Broadie empfohlen hatte. Mark ist einer der Köpfe hinter den Strokes Gained Kennzahlen, von denen wir immer mehr in den Medien und Apps lesen und hören. In Every Shot Counts erklärt er wirklich ausführlich, wie es zu den Strokes Gained Kennzahlen gekommen ist und warum diese allen Golfern helfen können. Du willst es direkt lesen? Damit machst du alles richtig. Hier findest du es: - https://amzn.to/3Ut8csN * Es ist wirklich faszinierend, wie er anhand von rechnerischen Beispielen belegt, dass Putten doch nicht das unglaublich wichtigste mein Golfen ist. Außerdem erklärt er auch, dass er sich die Daten nicht zusammenfantasiert hat. Alle Daten stammen von der PGA Tour und deren Shotlink Datenbank. Natürlich ist ein Vergleich von uns Wochenendhackern und Tourspielern etwas schwierig. Daher beschreibt er auch weitere Datenquellen aus dem Amateurbereich. In Every Shot Counts legt er auch dar, welche Aspekte des Spiels wirklich entscheidend sind. Dazu auch noch, warum Tiger Woods so erfolgreich war und ist. Aber auch, warum Vijay Singh trotz vergleichweise schlechtem Putten doch so erfolgreich war. Das ist aber alles nur ein kleiner Hauch an Informationen die du im Buch erhälst. Wichtig für dich zu wissen ist noch das: Wenn du keinerlei Interesse an Zahlen und Auswertungen hast, dann ist das Buch nichts für dich. Es trotzt nur so von Tabellen und Vergleichen. Auch wenn ich mich eher als Gefühlsspieler sehe, ist es für mich trotzdem unglaublich wertvoll gewesen das Buch zu lesen. Und so ein paar Tabellen und Auswertungen haben wir doch alle irgendwie doch etwas gerne oder? Schnapp dir das Buch und du wirst definitiv in der kalten Jahreszeit etwas unglaublich spannendes über dein Spiel und das Golfen allgemein lernen. Hast du einen Tipp, der unbedingt anderen Golfern gezeigt werden muss? Schreib mir doch gleich über http://facebook.com/mygolfpage/ oder www.instagram.com/andreas_mygolfblog und wir machen den Tipp bekannt!

We've all heard it: "Drive for show, putt for dough." But after speaking with Mark Broadie, the godfather of the game-changing Strokes Gained model, we're rethinking that position. Professor Broadie joins Tom Coyne live in the Broken Tee Society Discord server to unpack golf's ongoing data revolution, and why you're trying to shave strokes in all the wrong places.   Mark Broadie is the Carson Family Professor of Business at Columbia Business School. In the mid-2000s, he developed the Strokes Gained model by manually tracking and analyzing thousands of golf shots from amateurs at his club in Pelham, New York. After gaining access to the PGA Tour's shot-tracking data, Broadie refined his model, then released his seminal book Every Shot Counts in 2014. He now works on the USGA handicap research team, operates the GolfMetrics stat-tracking app, and advises a number of professional and amateur players.

Steve Levitt is obsessed with golf — and he’s pretty good at it too. As a thinly-veiled ploy to improve his own game, Steve talks to two titans of the sport: Greg “The Shark” Norman, who was the world’s top-ranked golfer for more than six years; and Mark Broadie, a Columbia professor whose data analysis changed how pros play the game.

Ken Duke's 65 at the 2016 Players Championship isn't close to one of the lowest rounds in PGA Tour history. It's not even the best round ever at the Players. So why does it qualify as the greatest round in Players history, as well as one of the greatest rounds in the history of golf? In this episode of Local Knowledge, Alex Myers tells the story of a journeyman pro's improbable round on a difficult scoring day at the Players, along with the backstory of how our measurement of golf performance has grown more sophisticated in recent years. In talking to Columbia University professor Mark Broadie, the creator of golf's strokes-gained statistic, Myers explores how advanced metrics have altered our understanding of golf, and has helped everyone from tour pros to average players understand where they excel and where they most need improvement.

Mark Broadie joins Oli on the latest episode of Read It, Roll It, Hole it. He is the inventor of Strokes Gained, a Professor and an author.

In this chat from summer 2020, we talked to the man who developed and built the ‘Strokes Gained’ system which is now used on the PGA Tour to better measure player performance as well as greatly improving our television viewing experience!  In this great episode you will find out how Strokes Gained can really help you improve your own game and understand better how to go about lowering your scores. https://linktr.ee/talkgolfscotland

Welcome to Golf Talk Live! Tune in LIVE Thursday at 6:00 PM Central This week's Coaches Corner Panel: Jon Decker & Bill Abrams. Later, my special guests: Dallas Webster & Ryan Hebert – V1 Game App Developers. More on Dallas & Ryan: Dallas Webster an avid golfer became frustrated a few years ago with inefficient practice and stalled improvement. With a growing family, time became less available to spend on the golf course to reach his golf goals. After reading Every Shot Counts by Mark Broadie, he began tracking advanced golf stats in an excel spreadsheet and started getting insights into his game that accelerated his progress. His best friend Ryan Hebert was just taking up the game and also working hard to improve. After a long phone call and brainstorming they partnered up to turn clumsy scorecard input and excel spreadsheets into an app for the amateurs that became PocketPAR. Ryan was able to carve out an 8 handicap including winning several tournaments on the Golf Channel Am Tour.  After 3 years of improving PocketPAR as a side gig, they partnered with V1 Sports to create what is now V1 Game.

Think Bill James, a  pioneer of baseball statistics or the Moneyball story of how Billy Bean used stats to make the Oakland A's a viable MLB franchise. Now think about the man who revolutionized the use of statistics in the game of golf. That man is Mark Broadie, who joined Bo and Farrell to explain Strokes Gained, the revolutionary tool that changed how the best players in the world evaluate their performance and strategy across the various areas of their games.  Sean Foley, who wrote the foreword to Broadie's book, Every Shot Counts, calls the Columbia Business School professor one of the most influential minds of the last 20 years in the game of golf. 

In the game of golf, there’s an expression: “Drive for show, putt for dough.” What it means is: If you want to win tournaments, practice putting. It makes sense. In a standard even-par round of golf, putts make up half of all strokes. You’ll use your driver less than half the number of times you’ll use your putter. There’s more strokes to get rid of in the putting part of the game. “Drive for show, putt for dough” makes sense – but it’s wrong. Why? It can tell us a lot about other places in life and work with “raised floors.” Golf is a reality-distortion field First, a little background on the game of golf, for those unfamiliar. You’ve got a roughly one-and-a-half-inch ball, you’re trying to hit into a roughly four-inch hole. That hole is anywhere from one-hundred yards away to five-hundred yards away. A one-hundred yard hole is a short par 3. A five-hundred yard hole is a long par 5. Meaning you have three strokes to get the ball in the hole for the par 3, and you have five strokes to get the ball in the hole on the par 5 – that is, to shoot even par. In between these distances are the more-common par 4s. So you’re hitting a tiny ball with a chunk of metal on the end of a long stick, and you’re trying to get it into a tiny hole a few football fields away. It’s insanely difficult, and trying to accomplish this will challenge your perception of reality. So no wonder the common wisdom in golf is wrong: It’s hard enough to make solid contact with the ball. It’s even harder to look back on a round, or even a hole, and have a clear picture of what the hell happened and how you could do it better. Golf is essentially a reality-distortion field. It’s endlessly multivariate. It’s full of hidden risks and difficult decisions. It’s also frustrating and emotionally challenging, which makes it even harder to see reality and improve. So, yes, golf is a good analog to life. Seeing reality in Golf Mark Broadie of Columbia University wanted to make it easier to see reality in the game of golf. So, he collected a ton of data. He got detailed data of more than 100,000 shots from 200 men and women of all ages and skill levels. He knew where each shot started, where each shot ended, whether the shot was from the sand or the fairway or tall grass – he even knew whether each putt was uphill or downhill, left-breaking or right-breaking. This is a lot of data. At the time, if you were a stats-minded golfer, you were counting how many fairways you hit in your drives, how many greens you hit in regulation (A “green in regulation” is par minus-two, because the goal is to average only two putts on each hole.) Since you believed you were “putting for dough,” you were also counting how many putts you had. But this information stats-minded golfers were collecting didn’t really help. Maybe you had only 28 putts instead of the standard 36 putts, but the reason you had so few putts was because you didn’t hit any greens, so you were hitting the green from a shorter distance and thus your putts were shorter and easier to make. It didn’t help you see reality. If anything, it made reality harder to see. The “strokes-gained” method of seeing reality But Mark Broadie revolutionized golf stats. He developed a system called “strokes gained.” Basically, for your skill level, where on the course are you gaining strokes and losing strokes? Your average PGA Tour golfer hitting from the tee on a 400-yard hole – a par 4 – averages 3.99 strokes. From 8 feet, he averages 1.5 strokes. So imagine a golfer who is better than other pros from 8 feet. Instead of 1.5 strokes on average, he takes 1.3 strokes. Yet this golfer still averages 3.99 strokes from 400 yards off the tee. He’s better than other pros from 8 feet, but somehow just as good as other pros from 400 yards. That means somewhere between the tee and that 8-foot putt, he’s losing a fraction of a stroke – 0.2 strokes to be exact. It’s almost like for every single shot on the course, the golfer is starting with a new “par” based upon the distance from the hole and the conditions of the shot. If you crunch all of that data, you can find exactly where your game needs work. Why “putt for dough” is wrong After crunching all this data, Mark Broadie discovered why “putt for dough” is wrong: Putts make up 50% of the strokes in a standard even-par round of golf. But Broadie found that putting performance only accounts for 15% of the strokes that separate the wheat from the chaff. From Broadie’s fascinating book, Every Shot Counts: Between the best pros and average pros, between pros and amateurs, and between good amateurs and poor amateurs, the numbers show that putting contributes about 15% to the difference in scores. Tee-to-green shots explain the remaining 85% of score differences. In fact, if you took a golfer who usually shoots 90, and you gave that golfer the putting skill of a pro – who usually shoots 20 or 25 strokes less – that amateur golfer’s score would drop not by 20 or 25 strokes, but by four strokes. Instead of shooting 90, this amateur golfer with the putting skills of a pro would shoot 86. Golfers have been saying putting is the most important part of the game since the early 1800s. Mark Broadie’s work didn’t come around until the early 2000s. How could popular wisdom get it so wrong for so long? “Raised floors” can’t be lowered This is what I call a “raised floor.” It’s an area where you have a standard of performance. Since that standard of performance seems to have lots of room for improvement, you think you can improve that performance. But there’s a floor. It’s a raised floor, and you can’t lower it. We know no unassisted human will run a 10-second mile. We know there’s a raised floor, and that if you want to run a mile in record time, it’s a matter of shaving off fractions of a second. Why golfers focus on “raised floors” Yet golfers, for the longest time, thought it was putting that mattered most. Why? If you know anything about perception, you can see a few ways putting would seem like the most important part of the game. Putting is the action you’re usually making when you reach your goal – when the ball finally goes in the hole. Putting is also where you miss the hole, sometimes by a hair. When you reach the green in three strokes from 500 yards away, you have a ten-foot put for birdie, and you end up taking three more strokes to get in the hole – that’s frustrating! Three strokes for 500 yards, three strokes for ten feet – it seems clear where you need improvement. Because it’s frustrating, because it causes golfers to feel an emotion, putting seems more relevant. These examples are components of the “availability bias.” That we remember things that are easy to remember – such as “lipping out” a put or three-putting from ten feet. The availability bias is why people are often more worried about dying in plane crashes than in car crashes, despite the fact they’re far more likely to die in a car crash. Look out for “raised floors” Raised floors are in other areas of your life and work, and they can waste your energy. How many calories can you cut from your diet, really? How much can you cut your spending, really? How much time can you save, really? Don’t lower the floor. Raise the ceiling. If putting isn’t the biggest part of golf, what is? Among the top 40 PGA Tour golfers, putting accounted for 15% of the game, driving 28%, and shots from around the green 17%. The most important part of the game: approach shots – that is, shots to the green from long distances – these accounted for 40% of the game. The greatest golfer ever, Tiger Woods, gets his advantage not from great putting, but from great approach shots. In the data Mark Broadie has analyzed, when hitting from the 150–200-yard range, Tiger Woods hit his shots three or four feet closer to the hole than other pros. Those approach shots alone gave Tiger a 1.3 stroke per round advantage. There’s four rounds in a tournament. It only takes one stroke to win. 1.3 strokes per round is a lot. So instead of getting good at the short game of golf, get good at the long game of golf. Instead of cutting more calories from your diet – as we learned from the Body by Science book summary on episode 160 – build muscle that burns calories. Instead of struggling to cut your spending, make more money. Instead of stressing yourself out to save more time, manage your energy. Don’t lower the floor – raise the ceiling.

My guest today is Mark Broadie, a Golf Statistician and Professor at Columbia Business School. I first found Mark through his book Every Shot Counts, which transformed golf statistics and analytics forever. Marcus worked with many of the world's best golfers, including Francesco Molinari, and Justin Rose, who became the world's number one golfer as a result of their work together. In this episode, we explore the nooks and crannies of golf statistics, we talked about how different kinds of grasses influence players, why approach shots play the biggest role in success for top golfers. We discussed the math behind the drive for show and putt for dough theory, and dive into the reasons why Tiger Woods was so dominant for so many years. Now I live for conversations like this. I love them. And spending an afternoon with Mark talking about strategy, statistics, and golf, the so called greatest game ever played is about as good as it gets for me. And we begin the conversation talking about the strokes gained measurement system which Mark invented, and which dispelled many of the myths and misconceptions about the game of Golf.
