Anala-Golf

This project started off as a contiuation of my very strong passion for golf this semester and I wanted to take another look at the game I love. So I went and explored two major aspects of Golf - Driving and Putting and their impact on scores. I was trying out juptyter notebooks and python for the first time so I used just used those since I'd wanted to get better at this kind of basic data analysis thats always useful and I was able to get the data from the PGA Tour website. There was a bit of challenge with generating the graphs and ensuring that the they actually presented data in the correct way, but overall I'm pretty happy with all the work I've done and clear results showing that theres not too much of a indication from this high level of an analysis at this level of play though there are natural boundaries indicating the drop off in performance indicating that the players are getting tired, and also the minimum skill levels too. Next I'd love to dig deeper and find really good statistical indicators that would allow us to identify the best of the best and see what aspects of the game really end up moving the needle.
