Average monthly rainfall in inches overlaid with median daylight hours. A look at Seattle's iconic wet seasons and their relationship to seasonal light.
Data sources: NOAA climate normals (rainfall), USNO sunrise/sunset tables (approx. median daylight).
Expected strokes to hole out from key distances (50, 100, 150, 200 yards) for different handicap levels (Pro, Scratch, 5, 12). Inspired by Mark Broadie’s *Every Shot Counts*, this visualization shows how skill level impacts scoring efficiency, with higher handicaps requiring more strokes due to worse approach shot proximity.
