  • Q-Link on Major Golf Tours
    Q-LINK ON MAJOR GOLF TOURS The Q-Link pendant is currently worn by more than 300 touring professional golfers on the four major golf tours (PGA, Champions, LPGA, and European). It was worn by players during victories in more than 10 major golf championships. It was worn by the members of the European Ryder Cup team when it beat the U.S. in 2002. It was worn when the decades old PGA 72 hole scoring record was broken by Mark Calcavecchia. Congratulations go out to some of the recent tour winners, all of whom wore the Q-Link pendant during their victories: the 2005 Byron Nelson Classic (Ted Purdy) the 2005 U.S. Senior Open Championship (Allen Doyle) the 2005 U.S. Women's Open (Birdie Kim) the 2005 Women's British Open (Jeong Jang) and the 2005 Women's World Match Play Championship (Marisa Baena). Here are the players on the four major tours that have worn the Q-Link pendant during tournament play: PGA Bob Burns Greg Owen Michael Allen Brett Quigley Hank Kuehne Pat Perez Charles Howell III Jay Williamson Patrick Sheehan D.A.

Forsidefotos: Getty Images Printvenlig udgave kan hentes på Golf.dk 2 Kapitel 1 Dannebrog til tops Når en dansker vinder på touren, er det tradition i mange danske klubber at hejse flaget. Men hvad er baggrunden for den store succes, som Danmark – nærmest uafbrudt – har haft på den internationale golfscene, siden Thomas Bjørn brød lydmuren i 1996? 3 Med 45 danske sejre – fordelt med 33 på herrernes europatour og 12 på Ladies European Tour – har der været masser af grunde til at kippe med flaget. 4 u er sikkert kørt forbi. Derude vest for København, hvor mo- torvejene fletter sig ind i hinanden på kryds og tværs. Sand- synligvis har du endda holdt i kø netop her, og måske har du Dderfor bidt mærke i den gigantiske flagstang, der står på højene bag Brøndby Stadion. Med en højde på 47 meter er Margrethe-flagstangen landets højeste og er på den måde med til at give området et skær af storhed. Når man tager afkørslen og parkerer bilen foran det knopskudte og charmeforladte betonbyggeri, der ligger i ly af Brøndby Stadion, er det ikke ligefrem pomp og pragt, der springer i øjnene. Det er Idrættens Hus, epicentret i den danske sportsverden, og det er her Danmarks Idrætsforbund, Team Danmark og en lang række special- forbund har til huse.

Please direct all correspondence to Richard Rendleman. Skill, Luck and Hot Hands on the PGA Tour 1. INTRODUCTION Like all sports, outcomes in golf involve elements of both skill and luck. Perhaps the highest level of skill in golf is displayed on the PGA Tour. Even among these highly skilled players, however, a small portion of each 18-hole score can be attributed to luck, or what players and commentators often refer to as “good and bad breaks.” The purpose of our work is to determine the extent to which skill and luck combine to determine 18-hole scores in PGA Tour events. We are also interested in the question of whether PGA players experience “hot or cold hands,” or runs of exceptionally good or bad scores, in relation to those predicted by their statistically-estimated skill levels.
