  • Title: Is the independence of golf scores for professional golfers a statistical artifact?
    Author: Clark RD.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2006 Oct; 103(2):636-8. PubMed ID: 17165427.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated whether the lack of day-to-day consistency in performance for professional golfers would occur if round ranks were employed instead of round scores. When players' round scores from the 2004 Clark study were converted to round ranks, the results were very similar to those found in that study. It was concluded that the range of abilities for professional golfers is so restricted that the fluctuation in players' scores or rankings will show little consistency from day to day.
