A data-driven look at modern golf

In Golf by the Numbers, author Roland Minton invites readers into the math behind elite golf. Drawing on PGA Tour ShotLink data, the book reveals how statistics, probability, and physics surface in everyday decisions—from club selection to where a ball lands on the green.

Rather than a dry study, the work offers accessible explanations, entertaining stories, and practical ideas for readers who enjoy data with a human side. You’ll see how pros review the outcomes of each swing, how framing uncertainty shapes strategy, and how numbers tell the story behind famous moments in the game.

What you’ll learn

  • How ShotLink data informs shot selection and course management decisions
  • The role of randomness in putting and how top players balance risk and reward
  • Ways that elite golfers analyze results to refine practice routines

Practical takeaways for players and fans

  • Real-world scenarios for driving decisions, approach shots, and putting patterns
  • How to translate numbers into actionable training drills and routines
  • Insights into the debate between aggressive and cautious play on different greens

While the book highlights remarkable players and tournaments, its aim is to illuminate the math that often lies behind successful play. The ideas are presented in a way that invites curiosity—they’re possibilities you can explore, not guarantees of improvement. If you enjoy thinking about golf in new ways, Golf by the Numbers offers a thoughtful lens on how numbers shape the game you watch and play.
