  • The ISOPAR Method: a Performance Analysis Project on the Shotlink™Database
    T U M W P e ISOPAR Method Michael Stöckl, Peter Lamb & Martin Lames Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences Connollystrasse 32 80809 Munich Germany [email protected] [email protected] June 27, 2011 Abstract e ISOPAR method is a method for characterizing the difficulty of golf holes and allows the per- formance of shots to be analyzed. e method is based on the ball locations provided by ShotLink™and the subsequent number of shots required to hole out from each respective location. ISOPAR values are calculated which represent the number of shots the field would require to hole out. ese ISOPAR values can, a) be visualized on an ISOPAR map and, b) lead to a new performance indicator called Shot ality, which is the difference between the ISOPAR values of the starting position and finishing position, respectively. e Shot ality score can also be used to determine how many shots were saved per shot, or per type of shot, with respect to the performance of the field. 1 Introduction In performance analysis, characteristics of a process which describe how an outcome was achieved are used to assess the performance itself (Hughes & Bartle, 2002) and are referred to as performance indica- tors. Classical performance analysis techniques in golf have focused on classes of golf shots (James, 2007), such as driving distance, approach shot accuracy and puing average (James & Rees, 2008). Measures like greens in regulation, average pus per green and driving distance are intended to describe players’ abilities to perform certain types of shots, yet these abilities are not actually assessed.

  • Bubba Watson Has Already Done More in His Second Season on the PGA TOUR Than Many Do in Their Entire Careers
    Bubba Watson has already done more in his second season on the PGA TOUR than many do in their entire careers.

Earn a top-five finish in a major championship? Check. Watson tied for fifth in the 2007 U.S. Open in just his second career appearance in a major. Lead the PGA TOUR in driving distance? Check. Watson has crushed the ball this season, knocking his drives 315.3 yards on average. Play well enough to sit in the top-30 in FedExCup points just weeks before the inaugural PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup? Check. Watson is currently ranked No. 24, which would gain him entry into THE TOUR Championship if it were played today. Start own clothing line featuring affordable yet fashionable golf attire? Check. On June 10, Watson officially launched bubbagolf, a clothing line that offers over 30 pieces of clothing, including polos, windshirts, pants and shorts, which will all sell for less than $14.98. Steve & Barry's, a chain of over 200 stores nationwide that offers less expensive clothing, approached Watson with the idea and he excitedly agreed. The company has also notably worked with NBA star Stephon Marbury on his Starbury line, which features $14.98 basketball sneakers that Marbury himself sports on the court, as well as actress Sarah Jessica Parker on a line of chic yet cheap ladies apparel.

  • 19Th Hole Stories for the World's Greatest Golfers
    PRESS RELEASE WONDER HOW RYDER CUP CHAMPIONS CELEBRATE... Find out in the book Two Good Rounds- 19th Hole Stories for the World’s Greatest Golfers by Elisa Gaudet, now available on www.Amazon.com/uk in hardcover and on Kindle. Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell, Lee Westwood, Pardraig Harrington, Darren Clarke and many more share their stories. Everybody loves a celebration, and golfers are no exception. It has long been a tradition after a round of golf to gather together and celebrate a win or merely enjoy the company of friends, new and old, with a second round at “the 19th hole,” a slang term used in golf that refers to a pub, bar, or restaurant on or near the golf course. Two Good Rounds is an international tribute to 36 of the world's greatest male and female golfers and golf lifestyle, which often includes the enjoyment of drinks. In each chapter, golf writer Elisa Gaudet asks a notable professional golfer the same questions: What is your favorite drink? What is your favorite clubhouse, grill room or 19th hole? A special time, memory or celebration from a 19th hole? If you ever got a hole in one and if you bought the clubhouse a drink? This fun, feel-good respectful look inside the lives of Tour pro’s yields a wide array of answers ranging from crazy celebrations after a win to heartfelt memories of childhoods spent playing golf with family and friends. From the Arnold Palmer (½ lemonade, ½ iced tea) to the Guinness (the preferred drink of tour star Darren Clarke), to Luke Donald’s own wine brand and Graeme McDowell’s celebration after his US Open win.
