Thread: Ongoing golf series at SLATE

SLATE is doing a really interesting ongoing series on the game of golf.

Check it out here.

Some interesting stuff in those articles.

"Columbia professor Mark Broadie, who developed the concept of "shot value," found that a golfer who shoots 95 averages six awful shots a round. Consistency is still the most underrated skill in golf. "

And another excerpt -

"The tee box, the fairway, and the rough are where good and bad things happen on the golf course. The green is mostly there to make you hate yourself."

Oh, so true...

Thanks for posting this Edward. Great article. Looking forward the next in the series.
