In recent years, Strokes Gained has become an increasingly popular way of measuring the strengths and areas for improvement in a golfer’s performance, focusing specifically on areas like driving, approach play, short game and putting.
But, what if we had an alternative strokes gained measure that assessed some of the more nuanced areas of the sport? In this series, we are going to kick things off with a look at the iconic outfits worn by some legends of the game.
