Putting Accuracy

Why is Putting Important?
Approximately 70% of a round of golf is
played within 100 yards of the green
Par is the best score possible if a green is
three putted
The easiest way to lower a handicap is to
improve putting
“Drive for show, putt for dough” is an often
used phrase to depict how important putting
is to the game of golf
Is There a Significance?
General Factor Interaction (Basically 2FI)

Neal
James
Randall
Jigg
Grade
Uphill
Downhill
Distance
6ft
12ft
Hypothesis
Downhill putts are more difficult
because speed cannot be used to force
the ball to hold the line
The further away from the hole the
more difficult the putt
Looking for interactions rather than
generating a model for accuracy, hole
out and lip out
Equipment / Materials
Practice Putting Range (Auburn Links)
25’ Measuring Tape
Medical Tape (Mark Distance)
3 Golf Clubs
Jigg – Odyssey 2 Ball
Neal – Odyssey 2 Ball
Randall – Scotty Cameron
James – Wilson
Experimental Method
Putting Order Randomized
Hole out was considered accuracy of
zero
Distance was measured from outside of
hole to center of ball
Design Expert software was used to
show interaction
Procedure
Following the randomized order, each
putter attempts to the best of his ability
to make the putt from varying distances
and grade
Accuracy (in), Lip out, and Hole out
were recorded for each run
Assumptions
All golfers will attempt to the best of
their ability to make the putt rather
than lag the ball close to the hole
No effect of different clubs
Golfer - Neal
Novice
Never played a full game (18)
Should stick to putt-putt
Golfer - James
Absolutely terrible putter
Is terrible at golf and should probably
stop playing entirely
Golfer - Jigg
Lifelong golfer
Placed second in state senior year in
high school
By far best putter in group
Golfer - Randall
Played golf for approximately seven
years
Excellent putter
Definition of Terms
Outlier T – identify extraneous data
Cook’s Distance – identify highly
influential points
ANOVA – Analysis of variables
(variance)
Box Cox – plot to help determine
transformation

Lip outs cont.
Golfer was determined to be a factor,
although this is believed to stem from the
fact that 2 golfers had 13 out of 15 lip outs
Lip outs are thought to have no correlation
from any of the factors we tested
As Randall and Jigg were the better putters,
there is a higher probability of their putts
ending up near the hole
