Tim Carr from Golf World started 2014 Â requesting a series of illustrations about advances in using statistics to improve the game of golfers. We have worked together since the Golf Magazine days in the 2000’s and have played many rounds together. Since I have been accused of having a single handicap swing but a mid handicap brain, this assignment might be the cure for my golfing ills. Growing up in a family of scientists also made this project fun. Maybe the next time Tim and I play, the brain will finally match the swing.
The illustration was originally a full page before Tim decided he needed a spread.
The focus of the spots were various aspects of the golf game which can be examined and the sometimes surprising results which can be discovered.
