Weather
conditions were similar each day. The golfers were required, as much as was
possible, to approach the nine holes the same way each time. In other
words, if they had hit driver off the first tee in their first round, they
had to hit driver again on the first hole of their final three rounds. The
sequencing of how they played the rounds was varied; not everyone played
with a golf cart first, then with a caddie and so on.
The golfers’ results during the four rounds tracked
similarly with consistent statistical trends. For example, seven of the
eight golfers reported the same scoring pattern: lowest while playing with
a pushcart, followed by playing with a caddie, next playing in a motor cart
and last was playing while carrying their bag.
“It’s not a perfect study, but I think we discovered some things,”
Wolkodoff said. “You throw the findings out there and let people take their
pot shots at them, which is fine. I would like to see someone do a
follow-up study. But if it hasn’t been done before, it’s because of all the
time, equipment and data involved.”
