I Spent the Last Month and a Half Building a Model that Visualizes Strategic Golf
Summary
The author builds a model to visualize strategic golf by extending the strokes gained concept into per-point heatmaps and a golf-hole simulator. He explains the idea of an idealized distance-based benchmark, computes strokes-to-hole at every position, and compares maps to reveal how hazards and contours affect strategy, with a Woking #4 case study and candid notes on limitations and future work.
