I'm confused about the line being painted on the cart path. Is the line on the course side of the cart path? Is the path a boundary object, or is there some part of the path that is in bounds by where he is playing the ball?

By definition, halfway would be about zero for all the strokes gained stats. If there are close to 200 PGA tour players being tracked, then it's probably around zero, or a bit below.

Some coaches seem to definitely prioritize landing the highest ranked players they can over winning. I see a lot of smaller conference coaches putting a lot of work into actually watching and evaluating players, and every year they out-perform the middle/low ACC teams who seem to only care about getting the highest ranked class they can. It makes me question how much the job security/salary in those schools is tied to the actual success of the golf team.

I wonder how a D3 scoring average would translate to a D1 scoring average. A lot of tournaments I looked at are played at similar courses and tees to mid level junior events. I looked at one played at the same course as an AJGA we played, and the D3 tournament played 400 yards shorter with similar or higher scores. I met JM at our State Am, and he played all right but lost to most of the mid-level D1 players and lots of the juniors in the field. It's a tiny sample size, but it was a tough set up.
