Here’s a tool for anybody interested in the Srixon Tour (Norwegian Junior Tour)! In this post, I will show you how to use it.

If you find this tool useful, please share this post with someone else you know will have interest. That would help me out. Thank you!

USING THE DASHBOARD

STEP 1:

Filter for your name. In this screenshot, I’ve filtered for one of the players I’m helping, Fredrik Rønnov.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

• The first piece of data I look at is the yellow number - “To field per Hole”. Let’s call it the YELLOW NUMBER. This is a measure of how many strokes you gain or lose per hole you played to your division. So in the example, Fredrik gained 0.11 strokes to the Gutter U19 field per hole he played this season. In my opinion, this is the best measure of skill. 0.11 gain ranks him 22 in the division.

• The next two rubrics just below the yellow number shows how Fredrik performed to the field on: a) the very next hole after making a bogey or worse, and b) how he performed on average per hole the next three holes after a bogey or worse. We’re trying to measure how quickly a player bounces back (or stabilizes) after adversity. We can see in the example how Fredrik performs slightly worse than his baseline (yellow number) on the very next hole after a bogey or worse (0.03 to his baseline). This ranks him 23rd, which is in-line with his overall rank (22). However, we can see how he actually performs better than his baseline (yellow number) over the next three after a mistake, where his rank jumps to 14.

• Below the top three rubrics we have the average score per round, low score (best score of the season), high score (worst score of the season), and mode score (the score you shot the most often) - all with corresponding ranks.

• The rubrics all the way to the right of the dashboard are on a per round basis. The numbers show you how many strokes separate you from the average of the top ten ranked (yellow number) in your division per round. So for Fredrik, we can see how he loses 0.65 strokes per round on Par 3s, 0.77 strokes per round on Par 4s, and 0.39 strokes per round on Par 5s.
  As there are quite a few more par 4s each round, his best performance per hole vs the top 10 in his division is actually on par 4s - but it still remains his biggest potential. His worst number vs the top-10 per hole are the par 3s - which might indicate that this is “low-hanging fruit” - a parameter that’s quicker and easier to improve.

• Potentially the most interesting parameters are the last two on the right-hand side. We can see how Fredrik loses 1.6 strokes per round vs the top-10 by not making enough birdies or better, and only 0.26 strokes per round from making too many bogeys or worse. This is quite unique. Most of the field outside the top-10 (yellow number) will lose the majority of their strokes vs the top-10 by making too many bogeys or worse.

STEP 2:

• Play around with the filters to see what the best players do.

  • For example, if you’re a younger player - look at the division in the older age group.

  • Filter by ranking (yellow number - to field per hole) outside the top 10. Look at where the biggest separators are between top-10 and the rest.

Let me know what you find!

QUESTIONS:

• Before filtering for any players - why is the yellow number positive? Shouldn’t it be 0.00 as the entire field is selected for?

  The reason for the number being positive is the distribution of to field per hole (yellow number) is skewed. A number of players with higher averages have played a limited amount of tournaments - either because they are younger and usually play in another division - or because they haven’t qualified for every event. This pollutes the average of to field per hole (yellow number). However, when you filter for your own name, you get a representation of your true to field per hole against the field which sums to 0.

• What are the most significant patterns/potentials I notice from this scoring data?

  I intend to cover that in future posts of this newsletter. However, I looked at scoring averages by round using this Srixon Tour data two weeks ago. You can find that post HERE
