GOLF GUIDE
The best golfers are usually professionals. And the top players battle for victo-
ries in the most important tournaments of the game. That is where the biggest
purses in pro golf also exist.
The Official Money List is a traditional way to follow how the players perform on
professional tours. The winner of the Money List at the end of a season is highly
respected when the best players are being compared.
For a professional golfer to be able to win the Money List or Major Championship
every part of the game has to be on the top level. You have to be ranked highly
in many categories of the game’s crucial statistics.
Every swing in every tournament on top pro tours is put into statistics. This is how
we can
analyze the game
of the players and how they rank among peers.
For an amateur golfer, one of the best ways to follow the improvement of his
own performance is the handicap system. But when lowering your handicap, it
is essential to learn more about your game. Amateur golfers do not necessarily
have to keep as good a count of their every shot as pros, but learning more about
stats and keeping score on some of the most important statistical categories will
improve your game effectively. By taking a close look at stats we can find the
highs and lows of our game. In this guide we introduce you to golf statistics and
how to understand them when improving your own game.
