Spoke No. 3:  Analysis with perspective.

With the aid of Peter Sanders at Golf Research Associates in Stamford, Conn., people are able to chart their rounds, their shot patterns, and their tendencies in a very clear, concise and detailed manner. Numbers don’t lie. People will come to me and say, “You know, my putting’s bad, my iron play’s bad, my driving’s bad.” But when we chart their rounds and their tendencies, we often find out that the problem isn’t what they think it is. It’s often diffi­cult for players to be objective about their own game.

                                                                        information, you can help them make progress.)
