NEW FOR 2010

• Charts - The database queries on the site can produce a lot of results, but how easy are they to interpret? Have the results displayed in a chart and the trends are easy to spot. Almost all the database queries now have the option to re-display the results in the form of a customisable chart, whether it is to track one player's finishing positions, scores or stats, or to comparing two or three players' performances via the different head-to-head database queries.
   

• 'Top Players' Database Query - Ever wondered who was the best player on a particular course, in a particular event or even in a particular country or U.S. State? The 'Top Players' query will produce a ranking of all matching players according to scoring average so you can see who really is the best player on a particular course, for example.
   

THE FOLLOWING TWO FEATURES ARE STILL BEING WORKED UPON BY THE CODERS.
EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION DATES WILL BE GIVEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

• Customisable Event Stats - Once ready, this feature will allow the user to re-calibrate the current form, stat form, location form and both course form tables so that they display up 15 weeks (or years for the course form tables) of data rather than current fixed number. There will also be the option to recalculate the scoring averages and ranks for the new sample period.
   

• Generate Your Own Ratings - Once ready, this feature will allow the user to generate their own ratings using the data in the stats tables according to their own parameters. See how the ratings would change if greater weight were to be put on course form rather than current form, for example, and so create a set of ratings that closer reflects your ideas about golf form.
   

All subscription areas on the site will remain free-to-access for the first four weeks of the 2010 season, but thereafter a subscription will be required to ensure access to the following areas:

• Statistical tables published each Monday for each player, including ratings, competing in any Tour event for which odds are available that week (link).

• In-running statistical analysis for each player according to 28 different statistical categories updated at the end of each round for every PGA and European Tour event (link).

• Customisable statistical categories (37 in total) for the PGA, European, Champions, LPGA, Japan and Nationwide Tours. For example, the PGA Tour won't publish "1st scoring average" data and European Tour won't publish "par-4 scoring average" data, but they can found at Tour-Tips (link).

• A profile page for each PGA, European, Champions and LPGA Tour player which summarises: (i) their results and stats over the last three months; (ii) provides a detailed breakdown for the player according to each 'Keith Elliott Golf Form Symbol'; (iii) provides a full comparison of the player performances in different locations, months of the year and across differing tournament strengths; and (iv) provides links to recent online articles about them (link).

• A profile page for each PGA, European, Champions and LPGA Tour event which details course information, pre-set head-to-head database queries for each player in the field, a full statistical breakdown of the last five years of each tournament (containing sections such as the 'previous current form and course form of the top-5' for each year, the 'top-5 in each statistical category' for each year, 'hole averages' for each year, and so on), plus links to recent online articles about the event. For all other Tour events, there is a profile page which provides pre-set head-to-head database queries for each player in the field and links to recent online articles about each event (link).

• Twenty-seven different pre-determined database queries for the Men's and Ladies' Tours. These involve not only queries on player's scores according to event, course or location, but also their individual event stats and there is also the option to display the database results via charts rather via tables of data. There are also queries to compare two and three players in head-to-head formats and a query on how specified players have performed when in the same playing group, again with the option to display the results as charts (link).

• Odds comparison pages for each Tour event devoted solely to 72-hole tournament matchups, 18-hole two-ball matchups, and 18-hole three-ball matchups, which display not only the matches and the odds at each bookie, but also the head-to-head stats for the players in each matchup. These odds comparison pages are updated automatically once per hour to ensure that the odds are up-to-date and feature the odds from 24 different bookies that have a significant golf section. No odds comparison website comes close to having such a comprehensive odds comparison service in relation to golf match betting (link).
