Prediction Data Page Updated on Golf Predictor

I am pleased to announce several updates to the golfer 'Prediction' page on Golf Predictor. These updates vary from the cosmetic to the functional and are outlined below.
  1. I have moved the GP Score and the Performance Likelihood percentages to the same row in the General panel and enhanced their display with radial dials. The length of the arc on the dials is proportional to the values for the golfer. This can be seen in the first screenshot above for Jimmy Walker ahead of the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship.
  2. I have moved the DraftKings DFS data out of the General panel and put it in a new panel of its own. This panel will only be visible for tournaments that have this DFS information. This can also be seen in the first screenshot above.
  3. I have added the best and worst results for the last five events for the golfer to this page. This brings the last five stats in line with the other historical stats on the page and allows for the creation of a box plot (see below) for last five events also. This can also be seen in the second screenshot above, also for Jimmy Walker ahead of the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship.
  4. I have added seven new box plots directly to the page. These charts use the existing average, standard deviation, best finish and worst finish for each historical metric (GP season/last five events/course/tournament/last twelve similar events/similar weather/similar length course) and shows the results distribution for the golfer at a glance. The box plots for the GP season and last five events can also be seen in the second screenshot above. Much more on these great new plots here.

These updates should improve the prediction page for each golfer considerably. The radial dials and the box plots use JavaScript to work, but don't appear to impact on page load times. Just another way to make Golf Predictor even better!
