Exploring Correlation Coefficients with Golf Statistics
Quinn, Robert J
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v28 n1 p10-13 Feb 2006
This article explores the relationships between several pairs of statistics kept on professional golfers on the PGA tour. Specifically, two measures related to the player's ability to drive the ball are compared as are two measures related to the player's ability to putt. An additional analysis is made between one statistic related to putting and another that measures how effectively the player tends to reach the green. An analysis of which statistic has the most impact on a player's score is also included. The article concludes with an interesting extension relating the statistics of professionals to the performance of an amateur golfer.
