Golf: Would You Rather Be the LONGEST or STRAIGHTEST Driver on the PGA Tour?

[@piyushzope10]

In this video I am able to understand the analysis but as I'm anaware about golf so it was little confusing for me😁 but analysis is good like which parameters to consider so that we can try to perform similar action for analysing another sports data🙌

[@KenJee_ds]

Haha will be doing more other sports soon!

[@piyushzope10]

@@KenJee_ds that's great 🙌🙌😀

[@WingfanSports]

This is a great analysis! It highlights in many ways the value of a caddy and the strategy that goes into every shot. I imagine that players get printouts of each hole at a tournament and can gauge what risks are worth taking and which spots on the course that should be avoided at all costs.

[@KenJee_ds]

They definitely do, but not to the extent that you would expect. Very few actually have someone to do the cost benefit for them each hole. They are left to make their own decisions based on judgement, which could definitely be improved upon.

As always Ken...great video.

#48: Ok, you love golf. And, this is what I meant with the Basketball video. It's much better to understand the idea (Not a Golf fan here he he) About the factors, you read them in a book, or was it because of your expertise in Golf? (Not being an average golfer, course conditions) Great analysis!!!!! #66daysofdata

[@KenJee_ds]

Was a bit of both!

[@isambo400]

Over the course of a long tournament, there is a mental benefit of hitting fairways. But maybe longer hitters are psychologically able to respond to chaos better

[@KenJee_ds]

That could be the case. I definitely didn't factor in fatigue later in rounds or later in the tournament. Would be a good subject for a later study!

[@WingfanSports]

This makes me think of Phil. It's like he is unphased no matter how bad his situation is. He is not the longest of hitters but someone like him probably suffers less from taking risks.

[@KenJee_ds]

@@WingfanSports Very true, although I think he may be on the extreme end. I believe that he is one of the players that blindly follows distance even though the other factors like course and personal performance are in play.
