The following account is from Doug L. I mentioned in my previous correspondence that I really liked the way the program shows how one played each hole (+/- par) of a golf course. By examining that graph of the Course Analysis (StatDoctor Demo Golfer data shown below, i.e. not Doug's): I noted the three holes on this one course where I played a tournament last Saturday. During the round, I kept referring to the graph that I had printed out and shrunk (with my company's photocopier) so that I could track which holes I did well on, and which holes I really needed to focus on so I wouldn't double bogey them again. Guess what? I won the tournament by one stroke, with a net score of 70 (-2). Now net 70 doesn't sound like a low enough score to win a touranment, but the weather was atrocious. It was heavy rain and wind all day, so anything near par was good. Of the 56 golfers, only three scored par or below. I can truly attribute the win to Statdoctor because the three holes that I usually was 1.5 or more over par, I played bogey, par, par - only because I focussed on what I was doing. Hey Doug, thanks for sharing that with us. I think you are on to something with printing out the Course Analaysis graph and bringing it with you to the golf course. As much as I enjoy the analysis of my game using StatDoctor, my mind tends to go blank when I get out there on the course. I am going to try printing this graph out and bringing it with me. It will probably help me a lot since in looking at that graph above (which is the StatDoctor Demo Golfer, that's me) I could stand to save a few strokes on that 13th hole. Especially since the 13th hole on my home course is one of the easist. It's a fairly short par 4 that I tend to "go for" off the tee every time. It looks like maybe I should take an easy long iron off the tee and set up an easy wedge to the green. But that would make too much sense, give me the damn driver ;-)
Every week here at StatDoctor, we get lots of great testimonials about how StatDoctor has helped improve our customers golf scores. Generally, we don't post these, but this one deserves an exception.
Thanks for adding another trophy to my mantlepiece (although it did cost me the beers in the lounge afterward).
