Advanced Putting Metrics in Golf

چکیده
Using ShotLink data that records information on every stroke taken on the PGA Tour, this paper introduces a new metric to assess putting. The methodology is based on ideas from spatial statistics where a spatial map of each green is constructed. The spatial map provides estimates of the expected number of putts from various green locations. The difficulty of a putt is a function of both its distance to the hole and its direction. A golfer’s actual performance can then be assessed against the expected number of putts.

According to Dave Pelz, one of the foremost short game and putting instructors in golf, the putting technique, or simply the putt, is defined as a light golf stroke made on the putting green in an effort to place the ball into the hole (Pelz, 2000). Hence, the putt is used in short distance shots on or near the green, as seen in Fig. 1. Similarly, putter may refer to a golf club used in the put...

متن کاملThe stroke has only a minor influence on direction consistency in golf putting among elite players.
In the golf instructional literature, the putting stroke is typically given higher priority than green reading and aiming. The main purpose of this study was to assess the importance of the putting stroke for direction consistency in golf putting. Kinematic stroke parameters were recorded from 71 elite golf players (mean handicap = 1.8, s = 4.2) on 1301 putts from about 4 m. Of the different fa...
متن کاملSensorimotor Rhythm Neurofeedback Enhances Golf Putting Performance.
Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) activity has been related to automaticity during skilled action execution. However, few studies have bridged the causal link between SMR activity and sports performance. This study investigated the effect of SMR neurofeedback training (SMR NFT) on golf putting performance. We hypothesized that preelite golfers would exhibit enhanced putting performance after SMR NFT. S...
