Summary

How can big data actually help you shoot lower scores? In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by Fabrice Mowbray—a data scientist and golf enthusiast—to explore how the same principles used in predictive clinical modeling can be applied to golf improvement. They dig into what big data really means, why small data can be misleading, and how golfers can use their own stats to make smarter decisions. You’ll learn how to spot the signal through the noise and avoid some of the most common pitfalls in stat tracking.
