Stat of the day:
Today we'll take a look at standard deviation of scoring per hole (on yellow pins) to see which holes play consistent from week to week and which ones vary.
My first assumption is that wind holes would likely see the most variability from week to week...Holes 1 and 2 seem to be the most affected by the wind. According to data from preseason through week #3, believe it or not, Hole #18 is seeing the largest change in scoring from week to week with a standard deviation of 0.261. Maybe it has something to do with the trees along the right side of the fairway? Maybe they are like the apple trees from the Wizard of Oz coming to life to deflect discs on certain days. To no surprise, holes #1, and #2 round out the top 3 with #2 coming in at 0.236 and #1 with a 0.218.
Conversely, which holes play the most consistent? My guess would be hole #10 given that it is mostly open and short in distance...or maybe #4? Another surprise, hole #14 plays the most consistent from week to week with a standard deviation of 0.077. In 2nd with a 0.081 is #10 followed by #6 with a 0.090.
