I followed Rickie Fowler at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He actually does putt this rapidly. His best putting statistic is from 3'-5' where he makes 86% and ranks 94th. Needless to say, on the PGA tour it's all about putting (for me the most boring and uninteresting part of the game). Speeding it up would at least reduce the pain and boredom (for the amateur, for the professional player and for the audience)!
I use my blogs to make informal comments on policy topics related to my research interests in the World-System, computer simulation of the US Health Care System, the US Economy, the US Stock Market, and the US Financial System. I am retired from the University of Wisconsin -- Madison. I have taught Statistics and Computer Science and also served on the UW's HIPAA Task Force and the Bioterrorism Task Force. I have also been a member of my local planning commission, a jazz guitarist and a golfer, so some of that may find its way into the blogs.
