Exam season. "Are dumb people bad at golf?" We analyzed the link between golf performance and intelligence from socioeconomic and cognitive angles. Bottom line: no truly skilled golfer is a dumb person who doesn't think.
A comparison matrix of ANSWER vs. paper yardage books, popular domestic apps, and global tech apps. Explains our focus on lowering your score with EV/SG, environmental data, and PDF export.
Global amateur score distribution, tech vs. strategy at each skill wall, and a rank simulator. Why many golfers can't break 100 or 90—and how average golfers can break through with the right approach.
We released a tool that tests how putter head shape (blade vs. mallet) relates to green speed and surface (smooth vs. bumpy), using a statistical model built on thousands of strokes.
Where does your golf fee go? Course maintenance, facility operations, debt repayment… We've added an interactive report to LAB that models typical golf course revenue structure and visualizes how your round fee is distributed.
We released a tool that generates dispersion parameters for a golf physics engine, based on Mark Broadie's Strokes Gained and related statistical models.
While adding golf courses to the ANSWER app, we got curious: how many courses exist worldwide? We looked it up. Note: this is the number of courses (18-hole equivalent), not facilities. Here's what we found.
We are pleased to announce the official launch of the ANSWER project. We're starting as a tool that pursues the essence of golf.
