To be able to calculate your handicap and track it through time, you will log into the system either at your course or on your home computer.

And you input where you played and what day you played on and what your score was.

And after a certain number of rounds being played, the USGA will indicate what your handicap is, your level of skill, which allows you to compete against other golfers of different skill level and kind of normalize against that.

It was started while I was a PhD student, and so this certainly was a multi-month process.

So it's not something that I necessarily want to repeat in the near term, just because it took a lot of collection time there.

What you're seeing on average is, I think, 15 rounds a year is kind of the average CEO is playing that amount of golf.

But it's a heavily skewed distribution, right?

So we have a lot of people that are playing very little golf.

And then we have a tail where we're picking it up, you know, the top quartile of what we're looking at, which is 22 or more rounds per year.

the highest in the sample, 146 or 148 rounds recorded in a single year, which, I mean, at that point, that's a tremendous amount of time spent on the golf course.

And that would be if it was kind of uniformly distributed across the year.

Golf certainly has a season where it's a little bit more intense in terms of the summer versus the winter.

Yeah, with this data, given it's somewhat sensitive, we're unwilling to name out CEOs.
