Make Golf Decisions By The Numbers

Should you go for the green, or lay up? Putt aggressively, or die the ball in the hole? Who scores better, a good driver or a good putter? Quantitative researcher Mark Broadie — a professor at Columbia Business School, member of the USGA handicap research team, and former club champion at Pelham CC — applied the same rigorous statistical methods used by Wall Street’s quants to the game of golf to find the answers to these and other major questions of golf strategy. You’ll be surprised at the answers as he reports them in Every Shot Counts. This is not a book about how to swing a golf club.
