Last week the media went crazy about the return of Tiger Woods and neither the media nor the fans cared for much of anything else during the 2024 Genesis Invitational held at the iconic Riviera Country Club.

But one shank and a flu-induced W.D. later the nay-sayers were back, is Tiger done, they all asked?

A scientific analysis is attached – nay-sayers please ignore!

My new plan is to post anything from the movement sciences that I read/hear that has something of interest for golfers:

Today, recommended by the amazing Stuart McErlain-Naylor, lecturer at Loughborough University, listened to an interesting podcast (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3jEcrB0TFozV8rqiTIZnSF ), from which some interesting snippets below:

The ‘Sharp Shooter fallacy’ (minute 2:20 onwards): people try to quantify the probability of something after it has happened instead of 'calling the shot' in advance.

In present day language HARKing (defined as presenting a post hoc hypothesis as if it were an a priori one) - see picture!

Or, in science, instead of having a hypothesis and testing it, you collect some data and then you create the hypothesis from the data/results.

Instances exist in golf research too where post-hoc hypotheses are used.

Does it matter? Listen on!
