Came across this interesting collection of papers on golf statistics.
The Wharton paper on Loss Aversion is very interesting. Golf pros put better for par than for birdie. A bias that cost the best players 1.2m in prize money a year.
Pros also make 99.2% of the puts of 3 feet or less, pros make less than 50% of puts longer than 8 feet.
