I have been negligent in posting, and I have a bunch of stuff that I’ll get up here sometime soon, but I just had to share this. I heard this on NPR, from a show that aired a couple of weeks ago. John Feinstein was plugging his new book about the PGA tour’s qualifying school. By way of trying to explain what makes PGA tour golfers better than the average duffer, or even a really good golfer, he explained something about Tiger Woods:

“Tiger Woods, in 2005, had 485 putts on tour of 5 feet or less. He missed none of them.”

None. None? I don’t even know what to compare that to. Maybe it’s like a basketball player who makes all of his free throws. Even the best free throw shooters make only 90% of their free throws, though.

That’s your amazing statistic for today.
