Strokes Gained Insights!

Peter Sanders Interview

Welcome to Episode 222 of THE Golf Improvement Podcast!  Dedicated to sharing useful information on professional club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME!

Show Notes:

Interview with Peter Sanders - creator of the Strokes Gained Analysis Methodology in 1989.  Peter is presently the Chief Data Officer for the SwingU golf improvement app - this app now includes his strokes gained methodology.

• Peter has created the "SwingU Clubhouse" blog page that is available through the SwingU web site.  This blog page includes interesting insights related to Tour and Average Golf implications based on Strokes Gained Analysis.  Peter shared a few of the nuggets from this blog page - and the insight "We Are All Snowflakes" in terms of our golf games.
• Peter shares how - initially based on his desire to improve his personal golf game - he developed the concept of Strokes Gained in 1989.  He talks about how Strokes Gained is defined for a golf shot.  He also shares how many traditional golf statistics - including number of  putts in a round - do not truly help golfers know where they need to improve their performance.
• As a way to take a first step to embracing Strokes Gained, Peter shares a Very Simple Methodology that any golfer can use to indentify the areas in their golf games where they need the most improvement!
• He talks about how his Strokes Gained Analysis methodology became adopted both in the ARRCOS golf sensor system, and in the SwingU app.  This methodology is based on what was originally in his standalone ShotByShot app.
