2023 Masters Eliminator
Posted on April 3, 2023 Leave a Comment
You will hear (or read) a common refrain from prognosticators this week when addressing who will win the 2023 Masters: There are only XX players who can realistically win this golf tournament. Whatever number is assigned in that phrase will determine how accurate it ultimately is, but there is much truth in the more general […]

Grace Alabama Haskett passed away peacefully at home in the loving arms of her family on March 3, 2023 at the age of “almost 17.” (Officially 16 at her passing, Pedigree calculates her age in dog years at 119) A life lived well past its expectancy, it was defined by a never-ending spirt and joy […]
The Science of Golf
Posted on December 13, 2022 2 Comments
I wrote a book. I almost put a question mark at the end of that first sentence. With the likely scatterbrained-ness that is to follow in this post about that endeavor, you may also be questioning that decision as well. Why The Science of Golf? Good question… If you are skimming the front of my […]
2021 Players Championship Eliminator
Posted on March 9, 2021 Leave a Comment
‘Who is going to win The Players Championship, Will?’ is probably uttered more from folks this week than ‘hey, how’s it going?’ and it comes with the territory, but man is it a hard question to answer. Why? Because it’s the one major elite golf tournament, in my opinion, where the entire field – or […]
Stuck at Home Content

The kids started “school” this week, virtually, and will eventually have full-time help at home (aka, not me) before eventually getting back into a classroom. After five months of being stuck together, I am really going to miss inventing ways for the kids to be a part of my #content. I also needed to have […]
Fi-now

Having a front row seat to Jon Rahm’s impressive win at Memorial, it was hard not to pay attention to the new world number one putting together a major-like performance all week. It was impressive for its consistency and for showing how all-around talented Rahm is at such a young age. It’s worthy of praise […]
Distance + Age in Golf

A mailbag #MathMondays was a workload answering a question from @mikemad75 that barely scratches the surface on distance declines by age bracket. The full analysis is on my blog here: https://t.co/S6p3wYnxcf pic.twitter.com/JDLX4iILUE — Will Haskett (@willhaskett) May 4, 2020 In a slow time for thought-provoking statistics in real golf — we have no real golf […]

Loaded #MathMondays this week. How dominant @ntaylorgolf59’s win truly was by his standards. Respect thru the noise to @PhilMickelson’s commitment to 💣💣 + the consistently amazing day for @MavMcNealy on the greens. (And a challenge to my data mining friends) pic.twitter.com/9KTWixOT9Y — Will Haskett (@willhaskett) February 10, 2020 Let’s be honest, the last 18-24 months […]
Heat Check

Hard to hit record on #MathMondays this week, but I hope you’ll take 2 minutes as I paid tribute to Kobe thru our golf numbers. Plus, where Leishman’s day on the greens rank, and Rahm adding to his world-beating run. pic.twitter.com/MhBxwZmNUZ — Will Haskett (@willhaskett) January 27, 2020 In a week where we lost one […]
The Koepka Conundrum

Red-eyed #MathMondays is up. – The incredible putting turnaround of @andrewlgolf in winning @theamexgolf. – Mad respect for the HoF resume of @WestwoodLee. – The @BKoepka SG differential conundrum pic.twitter.com/9QwH8SqCV6 — Will Haskett (@willhaskett) January 20, 2020 One of the nuggets I tackled this week is something I continue to come back to when it […]
