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. -

Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR
Vol. 42, No. 2, March–April 2012, pp. 146–165 ISSN 0092-2102 (print) ISSN 1526-551X (online) http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/inte.1120.0626 © 2012 INFORMS Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR Mark Broadie Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] The game of golf involves many different types of shots, including long tee shots (typically hit with a driver), approach shots to greens, shots from the sand, and putts on the green. Although determining the winner of a golf tournament by counting strokes is easy, assessing which factors contributed most to the victory is not. In this paper, we apply an analysis based on strokes gained, introduced previously, to assess professional golfer performance in different parts of the game [Broadie M (2008) Assessing golfer performance using Golfmetrics. Crews D, Lutz R, eds. Sci. Golf V: Proc. World Sci. Congress Golf (Energy in Motion, Inc., Mesa, AZ), 253–262]. Strokes gained is a simple and intuitive measure of each shot’s contribution to a golfer’s score and was imple- mented by the PGA TOUR to measure putting in May 2011. We apply strokes gained analysis to extensive ShotLink™ data to rank PGA TOUR golfers in various skill categories and to quantify the factors that differen- tiate these golfers. Long-game shots (those starting over 100 yards from the hole) explain about two-thirds of the score variability among PGA TOUR golfers. Tiger Woods is ranked first in total strokes gained, and at or near the top of PGA TOUR golfers in each of the three main categories: long game, short game, and putting. -

Living on the Grounds of the Westchester Country Club
Westchester Country Club real estate Page 1 of 4 Living on the grounds of the Westchester Country Club Bill Cary, [email protected] 5:11 p.m. EDT June 7, 2015 Well beyond the steady value of their homes, people who live on the grounds of Westchester Country Club rave about the neighborliness, walkability and the strong sense of community among homeowners. Not only will attendees at this week's KPMG Women's PGA Championship get a shot at seeing the absolute best golfers in the game, they'll get a glimpse of some pretty swell real estate as they follow their favorite players around the famed West Course of Westchester Country Club. The 125 or so private homes on the gracious, bucolic grounds of the 583-acre Harrison club — majestic stone Buy Photo Tudors, sprawling Mediterraneans, classic 1920s center-hall Colonials — are among the finest you're likely to see in a single neighborhood anywhere in the county. And they have pretty consistently held their value (Photo: Seth Harrison/The Journal News) through the vagaries of the local real estate market. "Sales have remained consistent this past year and there are currently six homes on the market ranging in price from $2,550,000 to $3,995,000," says Coldwell Banker agent Ken Boucher, who grew up on the club grounds and now lives there, in a different house, with his wife, Liz, also a Coldwell Banker agent. "The very prestigious homes on the grounds can sell for over $5 million." Well beyond the steady value of their homes, people who live on the grounds, especially families with school-age children, rave about the neighborliness, walkable access to all parts of the club, and the strong, friendly sense of community among the homeowners.
