New year, new content. Welcome to the world of #MathMondays, golf edition. Quick look at 🔥 trends of JT, Rahm and Xander. (I am still hibernating, FYI) pic.twitter.com/UuNdhnbEs7 — Will Haskett (@willhaskett) January 6, 2020 Holy blog-less existence, Batman! This site was never intended to be a click grabber. It was an island in the […]
Influence
Posted on January 7, 2019 Leave a Comment
When I set out to muddy the golf podcast waters a little bit more last year, I wanted my stain to be just a little different from all the rest. Why create something that is merely a cheap facsimile of what is already out there?! As many are well aware, while I am a stats/numbers […]

I don’t blog enough. That’s an obvious statement based on the sporadic nature of content on this site, which is, ironically, the root of the problem discussed below. Earlier this year, I launched a podcast. If you’re one of the five people reading this blog, you probably know this. What you may not know is […]
Revving The Pod Up

For those who have been a part of helping The Perfect Number Podcast grow, thank you! May was the best month by far (equaling the downloads from the previous three months combined). Look for a lot more in the coming weeks, including a fantasy preview of this week’s U.S. Open, which is up now with […]
Episode 12 – Golf Data
Posted on May 2, 2018 Leave a Comment
Yes, I have failed in blogging for every podcast, but this one is the reason I launched the podcast. I find the endless amount of data to be fascinating in the sport. Who is the best putter? We have a zillion data sets to try and answer this question. Which stat correlates most with success? […]
Episode Eight – Masters Picks

In 2014, I said I would always pick Bubba Watson to win the Masters if he showed solid form leading up to the tournament. After Jordan Spieth won in 2015, I said he would win so many green jackets that you’d be a fool not to pick him every year. I am picking Justin Rose […]
Episode Seven – Evolution
Posted on March 13, 2018 Leave a Comment
I don’t think anybody would be surprised to hear that the professional game of golf is rapidly changing. It is bigger, faster, more athletic, stronger, more precise and a much bigger business. While many in the game blame the ball, it’s really much more than that. Paul Stankowski won twice on the PGA Tour, in […]
Episode Six – Golf Media
Posted on March 7, 2018 Leave a Comment
This was a tough one to approach because of how embedded in the golf “media” I am and not wanting to be too much of a homer or critic. I don’t think there is a sport that struggles with how to appeal to a wide range of audiences quite like golf. That isn’t a criticism […]
Episode Five – The Rise of TopGolf
Posted on February 21, 2018 Leave a Comment
Confession: I love TopGolf. I love that it’s fun. I love that it’s inclusive. I love that it is golf. I grew up with my parents taking me to the bowling alley on Friday nights because they were playing in a league with friends. Because it was their social/competitive outlet, it became a bit of […]
Episode Four – Is Golf Healthy?
Posted on February 7, 2018 Leave a Comment
Yes, the NCAA Tournament is the next major sporting event to keep an eye on, but with the Super Bowl in the past, there is a gap in the sports landscape that needs to be filled. Is golf poised for a bigger piece of the pie? With the help of Ryan Ballengee of The Golf […]
