Time to get your short game singing?

45% of golfers average more than 100 strokes per round.

Beginners 108 is considered to be a good score - that’s an average 2 over par every hole on a par 72 course.

Let’s think about that for a minute.

If a newbie golfer takes 2 shots to get in or around the green that’s 36 long ish shots per round of golf and 72 short shots of chips and putts.

Most beginner golfers head straight to the driving range.

Why? Partly because they equate distance driven to success. And partly because they let ego take over. Chipping 100 balls 50 yards into a chipping net isn’t sexy. Trying to smash a ball like John Daley is. Boooom!

We see a similar mindset with Power BI projects.

People get sidetracked by the eye catching shiny things.

On chart selection, colour themes and on design.

In reality there are things that you need in place to ensure those sexy visualisations are sharing the right information.

The fundamentals. The data modelling, the governance, processes, the optimisation, the short game.

With 80% of a PBI project spent behind the dashboard yet 100% of the acknowledgement is given to the dashboard you’ll need to bring your short game to the course too if you want to wear that green jacket.
