Abstract
In a method for analyzing performance of a golfer, a number greens hit in regulation by the golfer during at least one round of golf and a number of long game strokes taken by the golfer during the at least one round of golf are determined, a long game efficiency index of the golfer is calculated by dividing the determined number of long game strokes by the determined number of greens hit in regulation, and a long game handicap of the golfer is determined based at least in part upon the calculated long game efficiency index and a known relationship between long game handicap versus long game efficiency index. The method may be performed by a computer system if desired.
