Episode Notes

Strokes Gained seems like a modern statistical development in golf, but the reality is far older than that. Peter Sanders developed a strokes gained system in the 1980's, called it Shot by Shot, and has been helping golfers of all levels and abilities since. Today, in addition to his publicly available software, he advises professional golfers, including Zach Johnson and several others. He talks the history of his system, misnomers in golf stats and where we can get better.
