HOSPITALITY MANUAL THE NORTHERN TRUST 2017 Dear Partners, On behalf of THE NORTHERN TRUST tournament staff, we thank you for your support of this important championship. This year marks an exciting new era of this great event with a new title sponsor in Northern Trust, a new commissioner in Jay Monahan, and a new vision for the lead FedExCup Playoffs event. In 2017, we will show the world how New York does golf- fashion, food, and do-or-die drama on a world stage! THE NORTHERN TRUST is the only world-class professional golf tournament hosted annually in NY/NJ and, as the first FedExCup Playoff event, there is a lot at stake. The very best 125 players in the world will battle for an opportunity to advance to the next event. For those that fail, their season will come to an abrupt end and those that survive will need to fight to put themselves in position to win the FedExCup. With the world’s spotlight upon them and a lot on the line, there is sure to be great theater. And you will have a front row seat with first class views of golf and access to new fan amenities being introduced this year. However, while much will change, our commitment to giving back will remain a constant. The 2016 event generated $1.4 million for local charities throughout NY/NJ, totaling $45 million in charitable giving since the event began in 1967. Through your continued support, we look forward to continuing the tradition of giving back this year as we showcase New York to the world. This is how New York does golf! Top players competing for huge stakes at one of the most exclusive venues in golf all while creating a meaningful impact on our community. We are thrilled you will be joining us; we will do everything we can to deliver beyond your expectations and to create the kind of lasting memories that come with experiencing something truly special. We look forward to seeing you in August.

The SAS Championship, an official event on the Champions Tour, returns to Prestonwood Country Club, September 20-26. Kite, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has seven Champions Tour victories in his four years on Tour. His most recent win came eight days ago at the 3M Championship when he sank three birdies in the last seven holes to win by one stroke over Craig Stadler, also committed to the SAS Championship field. Kite has seven other top-10 finishes this year. His victory at the 3M Championship ended a winless streak dating back to October 2002 and spanning 47 tournaments where he finished in second place six times. One of those second place finishes was last year’s SAS Championship. Kite recorded a career best single-round score of 61 at Prestonwood Country Club during Sunday’s final round, vaulting him from 34th place into a second place finish behind D.A. Weibring. “Tom made an incredible run at last year’s title, posting a score early, creating the stage for an incredibly dramatic finish,” said Jeff Kleiber, tournament director. “He’s one of the best golfers that’s ever played the game.

    Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule.

His second-round score of 65 is a new personal best at Hualalai, beating his R3 66 from 2015 by one stroke. His success in the opening 36-holes is due in part to his accuracy off the tee. The World Golf Hall of Famer leads the field in fairways hit (25/28 -- 89.3%) In 2017’s 36-hole event at Hualalai, Montgomerie carded two rounds in the 60s (68-67 – 135) and finished the tournament -9 at T13.

    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.

ABOUT WESTCHESTER COUNTRY CLUB Three-time U.S. Amateur champion Walter J. Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events. The Thunderbird Classic came to Westchester in 1963, with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus winning two of the first three years.
