Abstract
Surprisingly, the results to-date have been inconclusive. For example, Hale and Hale (1990) found few significant correlations between five commonly reported statistics [driving distance (DD), driving accuracy (DA), greens in regulation (GIR), sand saves (SS), and putting performance (PP)] and overall performance for the top 20 golfers on the European tour between 1984-1988. Similarly, Jones (1990) reported weak correlations among a set of performance statistics for players on the 1988 US PGA tour. In both of these analyses, money earned was used as the overall performance measure. However, when Rotella and Boutcher (1990) used average score (AS) as the dependent measure, significantly higher correlations were obtained, especially between AS and GIR, for players on the 1987 US PGA tour.
