1. Player Skill Factor
    Each players skill factor (PSF) is determined by tallying up skill factor points based on how well the player performed for each skill factor category (accuracy, distance, gir, putting, saves, scoring). These categories are assigned weights of importance. By running these weights into the PGDA engine, the player ranking can be determined for those weights at the current point in time.
  2. Course Specific Skills Factor(s)
    When running the analysis for a specific course, the weights entered should reflect the level of difficulty for that course. Some courses reward distance more so then other skill factor categories. Long par fives, wide fairways. Other courses reward accuracy, with narrow fairways and/or long secondary rough. Other courses have difficult greens to read, and golfers with higher putting skills may dominate. Each course can have different skill factor requirements. Set the skill factor inputs to the appropriate levels of importance. This will result in a more accurate report ranking players accordingly.
  3. PGDA Free/Pro Dashboard
