#7 - Golf Statistics with Peter Sanders Pure Golf Collective

    • Golf

In this episode we dive into the work of Peter Sanders and his analytic software called “shotbyshot”.  This is a golf specific software which analyzes the strokes you make throughout your round and gives insights into how well your various skills are contributing to your success or failures as you play.  Filled with practical discussion about the tactics and relevant statistics in the game, this episode is filled with useful information to help you enjoy your on-course experiences all the more.

Understanding probability and learning to accept our own fallibility are two of the immediate take-aways we encounter through Peter’s work, but beyond those core ideas there are some great hints and illuminations surrounding key skills of the game, things to avoid as much as you can, and also some great general discussions about playing the game effectively.

Peter’s software is extremely useful and popular – it’s an app that you access after you play and after 5-7 minutes of input you get a nice report on where you lost or gained strokes through your round, and over a series of rounds you get an excellent x-ray of where your game is at.  Armed with this self-awareness, you can then embark on the process of bringing your weaknesses up a notch, while continuing to refine and play to your strengths.
