Moneygolf

If you haven't read Michael Agger's Moneygolf series at Slate.com, why haven't you?  Here is the whole series in one easy-to-read .pdf:

 Moneygolf - Michael Agger

His focus is on the PGA Tour and ShotLink but the concepts are applicable to all of golf.  He shares the view I and many others have that Driving Accuracy and GIR raise nearly as many questions as they answer.  The concepts like "Fractional Par" and "Shot Value" are just the kind of things I wish were available to us for LPGA analysis.  The discovery that differences in putting ability between pros is not nearly as large as previously thought could be a historic one.  Even if you have read Moneygolf, read it again - my plan is to memorize it.
