he survey conducted by
Professor Dan Sachau
(and his associates)
is called Lake Wobegon's
Golf Course: Misperceptions
of Superiority and Consensus
Among Recreational
Golfers; it was published as
an Abstract for the World
Scientific Congress of Golf
in 2012. Max Adler used the
survey for some articles in
Golf Digest magazine.
The survey included
2,330 male (96 percent) and
female (4 percent) golfers;
the average respondent
was a 14-handicap, 54-yearold
male who played 53
rounds per year. Each golfer
answered questions on 17
different golf situations
(including playing the wrong
ball, fixing spike marks,
whiffing, unrepaired divots,
lost ball, OB, etc.) in four
different settings (never, a
recreational round for handicap,
a bet with friends and a
tournament).
An interesting finding
included the use of mulligans.
Of the respondents, 36
percent said they never use
one and 36 percent would
use one in a bet with friends.
In a tournament setting,
2 percent said they would
take a mulligan-perhaps in
the far corner of the course
where no tournament officials
are within sight.
The title of the survey
refers to the Lake Wobegon
Effect, a psychological term
that describes a tendency
of people to overestimate
their own positive traits
( " Lake Wobegon, where all
the women are strong, all
the men are good looking
and all the children
are above average. " ). That
effect was demonstrated
by most of the non-rulebreaking
respondents, who
said that others would break
rules they don't. In fact, 62
percent of these golfers said
that other golfers would not
assess themselves a penalty
for accidently grounding
their club in a bunker.
But the rule breakers had
an even worse sense of their
fellow golfers. The results
revealed that across 17 scenarios,
between 89 and 99
percent of the rule breakers
thought the majority of golfers
would also cheat.
Beware on your next round
with a stranger who you see
playing loose with the Rules.
He just might think you're
cheating, too. - J.O.
