Ever wonder whether Tiger Woods in his prime would have beaten
Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, or Jack Nicklaus in their primes? And could
any of them have beaten Babe Zaharias? Obviously, if Bobby Jones
were returned to life and health and then given his old
hickory-shafted mashie, persimmon-headed driver, and rubber-core
ball in a match against Jordan Spieth, the outcome would be
foreordained. But what if the impact of the training, equipment,
courses, and traveling conditions could be neutralized in order to
create a measurement? Now for the first time, questions are
answered about the relative abilities of the greatest players in
the history of professional golf. In The Hole Truth Bill Felber
provides a relativistic approach for evaluating and comparing the
performance of golfers while acknowledging the game's changing
nature. The Hole Truth analyzes the performances of players
relative to their peers, creating an index of exceptionality that
automatically factors the changing nature of the game through time.
That index is based on the standard deviation of the performances
of players in golf's recognized major championships dating back to
1860. More than two hundred players are rated in comparison with
one another, more than sixty of them in detail with profiles
providing context on their ranking. For the dedicated golf fan, The
Hole Truth is an engaging way to see in the numbers where their
favorite golfers rank across eras and where current players like
Rory McIlroy and Inbee Park compare to the game's greats.
