Four rounds, four majors
Golf

Golf analysis, features & blogs
Strokes gained · Analysis
What strokes gained actually measures
Strokes gained replaced simple averages with a comparison against a baseline, and that shift changed how good golf is described.

Tournament structure · Analysis
How the cut shapes strategy long before it happens
A cut on Friday evening changes decisions made on Thursday morning, because a score that never gets banked cannot be defended later.

Course setup · Feature
Course setup, not distance, is golf's real difficulty lever
Two courses of identical length can play nothing alike, because difficulty in golf is manufactured on the ground, not measured on a scorecard.

Links golf · Feature
Links golf is really a wind problem in disguise
Firm ground and coastal exposure make wind the dominant variable in links golf, and that changes what skill actually looks like there.

Green speed · Analysis
Green speed changes more than putting alone
A faster green does not just make putts roll further, it narrows the margin for error on every shot played toward it.

Distance · Blog
Why golf's distance numbers keep climbing
Equipment, fitness and technique have each pushed distance upward, and no single cause explains the trend on its own.

Wedge play · Analysis
Wedge distance control is where scoring is actually won
Full-swing power gets the attention, but the ability to control a wedge to a precise number decides far more rounds.

Putting · Feature
Why line and speed cannot be read separately on the green
A correct read at the wrong speed still misses, because the line a putt takes changes with how hard it is struck.

Formats · Analysis
Match play and stroke play reward different golfers
Counting holes instead of shots changes what risk means, and that single difference produces two genuinely different games.

Endurance · Feature
The mental cost of playing four rounds in a row
A golf tournament is not one contest but four, played on consecutive days, and fatigue accumulates in ways that rarely show up on a scorecard.

Caddying · Feature
How a caddie actually decides, shot by shot
A good caddie is not carrying clubs so much as managing information, filtering it down to the one number a player needs at the moment they need it.

Rules · Blog
The rules oddities that decide golf's strangest moments
Golf's rulebook produces genuinely strange situations, and understanding relief options explains why players sometimes drop from places that look untroubled.
