Better Golf Daily: The Stats That Lie and the Three That Don't

I used to read my scorecard like it was a report card — see the number, feel good or feel awful, drive home. Then it hit me that two golfers can shoot the exact same score playing two completely opposite rounds, which means that number can't actually tell me how to get better. In this one I get into the idea that almost every stat in golf has a twin — a loud one that lies and a quiet one that tells the truth — and the three quiet numbers you can start tracking tonight with nothing but a pen. By the end you'll never look at the bottom of your card the same way.
